Non Destructive Entry (NDE/Lockpicking)

Why Use Non-Destructive Entry (Lock Picking)?   Simple: in many cases, the fire service uses the most expensive, the most destructive and least effective method to make entry into residential and commercial structures.  Sometimes a rapid, dynamic and destructive entry is necessary and tactically required.  In other cases, someone inside a dwelling may simply be in need of assistance and be unable to come to the door (think "lift assist", flooding home, welfare checks or other non-urgent events).  How many times has a door been destroyed on a welfare check of the resident only to discover that they were on vacation, sleeping or otherwise just fine?  The average cost to repair a door forced open can be expensive and in the hundreds of dollars, if not the thousands in some cases  Not to mention the lost time to wait for a board-up crew when those officers could be clear and back on thee street, or the insecure structure you leave behind, and the loss of good will for a destroyed home or business.  The same techniques will also work with a residential lockout, should you choose to also perform this.

 

We provide training and supplies for those in the fire service to use Non Destructive Entry (NDE).  This training provides an alternative option to forced destruction when breaching a residential or commercial structure.  The techniques allow fire agencies an alternate option of entry where causing damage may be undesirable. 

You do NOT need a PayPal account to use the links-- any major credit card is also accepted.  Prepayment is not required for course enrollment-- we will invoice your agency following the class.

What this course is:   These courses offer a introduction into the art of lock picking and lock bumping as it applies in the fire fighter environment.  We will teach you the basics of these skills, and give you an opportunity to start to develop those skills on practice locks in the class.  The course will also teach you how those skills can be applied in a fire department environment in the course of your duties.  This is a course specifically designed with the fire fighter in mind.






 
  

This course is unlike any other.  We gear all of the content, tools and training with the Fire Fighter and police officer in mind!

This course instruction and content is geared for fire service personnel to make a non damaging entry, as well as those in law enforcement.

** Basic Course ($475.00):  This two-day course on non-destructive entry (NDE) is perfect for the professional fire fighter/public safety officer.  The course is open to all sworn personnel, including fire service personnel.  In this course you will learn the basics of non-destructive entry, including basic lock picking, basic lock bypassing and bumping.  The class has been specially designed with fire personnel in mind, and will focus on those types of residential and commercial locks you are most likely to encounter in the course of your employment.  You will be given the opportunity to work on over 150 locks, including knob locks, lever handled locks, deadbolt locks, commercial mortise locks, and padlocks.  Legal issues related to NDE will also be covered.  Students will be issued as part of the course a professional lock pick set, as well as several other related entry tools. This is the first course of the 2-course series.  It may be taken back to back with advanced, or it can be taken with the advanced taken anytime (even months or years) afterwards.

 

**Advanced Course ($475.00):  This two-day course on non-destructive (NDE) and less-destructive entry is the perfect follow-up course for students who have had the basic course or a similar course.  Basic knowledge of lock picking, bumping and bypass techniques is needed before taking the advanced course.  The advanced course can be taken immediately after the basic course or at a later date well after the basic course.  This course will focus on sharpening the students’ lock picking techniques, as well as teaching additional bypass techniques, new techniques related to less-destructive entry (for locks that cannot be picked, bumped or bypassed), and several other options to make the fire service professional much more proficient with their entries and offering them several options and alternatives when assessing a location for entry.  Lock decoding, pinning and key identification will be covered. Legal issues will also be discussed, and students will be issued additional professional entry tools (different from what was issued in the basic course).  Students should bring with them their tools from the basic course.  This is the second course in the 2-course series, and is highly recommended to be taken to round out the skills learned in the basic course.
