This one hits home. We have always been polite when saying no to salespeople until now. (After all, they are just trying to make a living.) But the solar salespeople have gotten on my last nerve, and their pitches keep getting more and more misleading.
The last guy started out saying he was there "to schedule our upgrade to net metering." I said I wasn't interested and started to walk away, when and he countered with:
"But you don't even know what net metering is!"
I lost it and told him I know exactly what net metering is because salespeople have been at my door every damn week for MONTHS trying to sell us solar. Then I slammed the door in his face. He stood there stunned for a few seconds before shuffling off.
Maybe at least that one solar company will finally take us off their list. I am just about ready to put up not only a "no soliciting" sign but a special sign saying "If you're about to ring my doorbell to sell me a solar set up, just tell yourself to fuck off and save us both some time."
Yep, in a mostly peaceful firing position. If you want to make your door kick/battering ram proof, get some 3 1/2” screws and use them to secure the hinges and strike plates to the studs, rather than just the weak door frame. 3 1/2” is long enough to anchor it to the framing surrounding the door, and other than a key or lock picking, there is no way to get through that without a saw/grinder or heavy equipment.
Added to that, these doors are made of a heavy inflexible plastic, elastic enough for the energy of the impact to be dissipated throughout the whole door, but rigid enough to make the battering ram bounce sharply, giving the holder a nasty case of impact shock.
They are based on what I’ve seen. as long as they’re properly fastened to the studs. There are videos showing testing on the gulagtube. Failure is easy when it’s a short screw into a thin door frame, but when you have screws into the framework it’s a completely different animal. You’d have to produce enough force to rip them out sideways, through the stud, framing, the whole works. It’s much harder than one would expect.
Joe hit it just right. 1/4 to 1/2" thick hardened steel rods do wonders too. But they'd get frustrated and either try to rip off the wall with the bearcat/truck or send a flashbang in through your window way before they got tired of playing with your door.
Use the looking glass, cops and swat teams love to cover it up with their hand so they won't see when you dismantle the glass from the inside. Alternatively since this is probably inside of a commie block the apartment most likely have a unnecessary big and long hallway where you can just sit and wait until the door opens, then shoot them.
Or you could just climb out via the fire ladder, which unlike places like NY is probably so discrete they won't even know it exist and forget to cover that exit.
Man, I miss living in the projects with a FOOT of rebar and concrete between me and that kill funnel people call a stairway. That's what's up! Though this one time I left the door unlocked and a crackhead invited himself in and wanted to stay for dinner.
That and very thick safety doors, most of Europe and Russia still has most of those neighborhoods, some even with maintenance and some nice park areas below. Felt pretty safe living there too. Used to have a corner apartment so the hallway was about 8m.
If anyone tried to break in there would be enough time to hear the bangs on the door while fetching a shotgun and a chair, then just sit there by the end and wait. They'd be sitting ducks once they storm inside.
Seriously, I think a rated R Home Alone sequel would play really well with our generation. Imagine Kevin all growed up, but is living with Bril-level paranoia (from Enemy of the State), is a huge conspiracy buff and has his entire house booby trapped in case Harry and Marv ever return. It could be like Home Alone meets Die Hard meets Law Abiding Citizen.
Someone should tell Elon to get into movie production.
It was pretty popular in 2015. They were making a sequel (or full length version?) and got Michael Fassbender (magneto) and Schwarzenegger iirc. Last I heard about it was in 2020.
Looks to be a 2 1/2 inch thick steel reinforced resin embedded wood door with similar frame material that is lag screwed into a very solid wall framing.. These doors are also breech charge resistant and have a multi-point bar locking system like a vault door that is keyed with a recessed mechanism that has no door handle/knob as an option.. This is what I found, https://www.stashvault.com/reinforced-security-entry-door/
Requires some skill and patience but absolutely.. We have a fiberglass and wood core front door that I used 5 inch screws all around to install so I don't think it will be easy to breech but if given enough whacks it would fail.. Just kicking or shouldering would never work, better to bust a window or go thru a wall..
With some welding and mechanical skills and a $ few hundred bucks worth of steel and parts you could build your own.. Since Waco we know they have no qualms with ramming a home and burning it to the ground so I don't think an armored door would prevent the inevitable, just delay it so you have time to at least die fighting..
You'd need reinforced walls and roof. And then you'd have to deal with being sieged: they'll cut your water, gas, and electric. You'll give up eventually. Unless you have secret tunnels out, but that's pretty unlikely.
The tunnel and a few minutes to use its concealed entrance and exit would be a good option unless you want to build a house around a tank that you could drive out and over all their cars as you escape.. Fantasy Fantasy....
There was a guy in Germany that had a tiger tank in his basement ever since the end of WW-2 that a few years back got discovered and confiscated.. So it could maybe I guess happen..
Reminds me of that clip from the movie airplane… where they all line up to smack the shit out of that lady freaking out… cops tapping on each other be like, lemme try
The door-to-door Verizon salespeople really are relentless
Solar panel salesmen
ADT sales reps
Girl scouts.
Yeah, I could tell by how they were handling that battering ram.
Renewal by Anderson (window salesmen in general)
Fucking Jehovah's Witnesses, lol
Google wanting your birthday info.
Pest Control people here. YOU HAVE AN INFESTATION!
If ADT had smart marketing, they’d quietly break into your house and leave a brochure on the counter.
They would lose a lot of employees that way.
Not in California, where it's illegal to protect yourself and family.
Not if they're good!

They really like it when you say F off biden boy.
Who's the salty man that downvoted me? Regret those panels?
Probably geralt_of_rivia52 or whatever he's up to, now.
CAN!
YOU!
HEAR!
ME!
NOW?!!! (Pant-pant-wheeze…)

That makes me happy they feel every failed attempted.
Oh, they feel it until their arms go numb and hang limply by their sides.That's why they had to tag team in short bursts.
It was very satisfying watching the video. Must watch again.
You think the strike plates would be strong enough to take that beating?

Or get a ton of bungee cords and they can take the door off the hinges but it will snap right back into position.

Old Intercom System Squawks This is Carlton, the doorman. How can I help you?
LOL! “Wait a moment please, I’m pooooooping.”
All it needs is a firing port. Ideally at crotch level.

So what did you cook? 😃
Based and well informed 😂
Couldn't stop thinking of this - tis the season, I suppose
Where do you think I got the inspiration?

marv and harrys kids are now irs agents trying to audit kevin and hijinks ensue
My wife was saying they need a modern day update where Kevin set's up his house in preparation of Purge night.
I'd watch the fuck out of this if it wasn't holyyweird producing it

That name is taken. It's what I call my cock.
That fren...is the best idea I've heard in quite awhile. Cheers!
Also Kung Fury. Triceracop only shoots people in their privates.
Whoa! I thought I was the only person that knew about Kung Fury.
It was pretty popular in 2015. They were making a sequel (or full length version?) and got Michael Fassbender (magneto) and Schwarzenegger iirc. Last I heard about it was in 2020.
Ah yes, the Butters Stotch technique.
*a one way firing port.
Officer Wile E. Coyote falls for it every time.

"We've been trying to contact you regarding your vehicles extended warranty..."
Guys… it’s unlocked, just turn the knob.
That ends no knock warrants.

thats cool. Doesnt say how much those are. Im guessing over $10,000 ?
Seems like you could almost build your own door for 10k.
Requires some skill and patience but absolutely..

Ooh, now you're talking.

Go figure they are based in south Africa. Big market for reinforced doors down there.
Dave? Dave's not here.
No. It's me, Dave.

For Mongo
Mongo is just pawn in game of life.
This is from last year and the person in the apartment was seen outside 10 minutes earlier without a mask on. [shit-comment]
and plastic bottles in his garbage.
He also didn’t pay his $35 Portland City Arts tax

Also a hardwood door ...
No way. They didn't even dent or scratch it.
Funnily enough I just watched a video by Eddie Hall doing a promo for some strong ass doors
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v34zHuW_uQ
Calling the Police, LOL, UK
Now all that's left to get us the world be strongest wall, foundation, roof, and windows. Ez
In the UK police just use a Chain saw down the middle of the door

easily defeated with one steel bar.

Seriously. Look at this limp-wristed technique.
The second twerp w the skinny pants 🤣 practically knocks himself out haha
Hook that door up to a claymore.
FRONT TOWARD COMMIES
It looks and sounds like both the wall, door and door frame are reinforced, to be able to withstand that punishment without cracking.
I like it! 😎👍👍
Man, these Jehovah Witness people are getting pretty persistent lately. Jeez.
How long before the dems want to ban these doors?
Nobody needs super secure assault-proof security doors!
Oy, you didn't pay your tv loisense!
We are laughing.
Fuck the Brown Shirts.
Find some Faggots to kneel with Losers!
Need to electrify the door for added oomph.
Or just spray mineral oil into the hall, and watch them act like the 3 stooges for a bit.
We just wanted to remind you that your extended vehicle warranty is up.

Was probably some kit like this:

Oh I need this!
The brand of that door is placebo. It is actually a cement wall supporting it.
The real entrance is around the back...
Keep swinging asshoeS!! Lol I hope your shoulders fall out and you need life changing surgery.
Good start, but it should be calling them faggots each time they ram it.
It’s the BBC t v license inspectors.
Probably easier to go thro drywall and sheetrock instead
I've been thinking I need 2" steel around the lower half of my outside walls.
I don't know what the R value is of steel, but I would like to be able to take cover.
Can anyone see a doorknob?
When you don't even need to shoot at the gestapo because they all had heart attacks trying to break down your door.
