MEL Secure System has launched DoorStorm, a new forcible door entry product.
It’s designed to enable local police units, fire and other response agencies to rapidly access locked or blocked premises. The product provides it’s claimed a quick way to silently open virtually any locked door in seconds. It can also be used for jacking or door wedging to prevent access to or exiting from premises. Simon Lusty of MEL Secure Systems said: “DoorStorm is in daily use with police departments across the USA. We are in negotiation with a regional public order testing unit to trial what must be the world’s smallest forcible door entry solution.” This product is available in two versions. DoorStorm Ultra-i is the smallest with a length of 20.3cm and a maximum stroke of 11.43cm. DoorStorm Max-i is designed for a wider range of doors; ist’ 30.5cm long with a stroke of up to 19cm.
DoorStorm weighs less than 6kg and is more compact, easier to carry and use than traditional battering ram systems and is operable in any orientation including inverted. It features a new vanadium high stress steel ratchet and cranking system that increases torque by up to 17 times when extended and is geared for use by a single operator without requiring high levels of strength according to the firm. It’s also described as safer to use as it eliminates sudden bursting open of doors, preventing injuries to operators and occupants alike.
