Let me get this straight: he has four pieces of equipment, all over 6lbs, he uses an axe to wedge down, to insert a Halligan, and then uses a sledge to drive the adze of the Halligan in, only for the axe to drop, and then force then frame and door open? Couldn’t he just driven the adze in with the axe from the beginning? Two instead of 4? The roof hook is there and serves no purpose.
Appears to be NY Hook, which is needed for interior work pulling ceiling and drywall once entry is made. Also could be used for more leverage if needed. Always good to have options.
Think about the money that is spent by a town fighting fires. The time it takes to get doors open to rescue victims and get interior fires extinguished. The increased costs to insurance companies for all the extra damage that wasted time can cause. The cost of fixing the front door when it is only needed for entry when the fire could be in the garage or other remote location. All commercial buildings have Knox Box by the entry doors. The fire department has a key to that box and the building entry key is inside it. Put a Knox Box at the front door of every residential structure. The town, the insurance companies and the homeowner could all chip in, and entry could take just seconds and with no damage.
Great door pop. I have also used a pry bar/rock bar on metal screen. That extra weight and length helps get good leverage.
Remember your NY hook can be use for leverage when prying acting as a cheater bar.
I'm cheating and cutting the deadbolt with the k12 then grunting like tim the tool man Taylor

Yep all you’d need is a halligan with a axe or sledgehammer.

Nothing was "discussed." All I seen was a guy getting his butt whooped by a storm door...
That was embarrassing.
You must be one of them tough guys.
