This drill focuses on one particular method for accessing double doors with cross bar panic hardware. These doors can be found in church assemblies or other types of gathering halls. A modified piece of small diameter all-thread or a piece of round stock can be heated and formed into a J Hook that can easily be used to gain entry into these establishments. The step-by-step procedures for this particular method of entry are outlined in this drill.
