Wooden doors, presumably? It was interesting to see metal entrance doors when I was visiting apartments in China. USA doors all seem to be simple wood.
- giantg2 4y agoOlder doors are wood. Most of the newer doors are at least metal covered wood. They do make metal blades for Sawzall. Without and exposed edge I don't think a Sawzall would be that effective. It would probably work, but would take while to get started until you get the tip through.
- bombcar 4y agoIt depend on how well the jam is protected - most doors in the US are simple wood - shove a metal blade on a sawzall through the crack and cut the deadbolt in half - or the hinges. Even the metal doors are usually pretty light metal. A true security door is very expensive - and heavy.
- giantg2 4y agoYeah, I just mean the metal shell is at least slightly better than straight wood. Usually the exterior doors don't have that gap to shove a blade in (gap is exposed on the inside), but it depends if the trim can be ripped off to expose the gap from the outside. Basically, I guess all I'm saying is Sawzall would not be my first choice since there are generally much faster methods depending on the specifics.
