THE REDESIGNED LOCK SLEEVE
Weโre always looking for ways to make training more realistic, versatile, and valuable for the end user. The newly redesigned Lock Sleeve takes forcible entry and saw training to the next level.
Designed to mount directly to your existing training setup, the Lock Sleeve features adjustable arms that secure rebar in multiple positions, allowing firefighters to train on:
๐น High and low saw cuts
๐น Multiple cutting angles
๐น Chain and padlock defeat techniques
๐น Lock identification and assessment
๐น Weak-point recognition and attack strategies
๐น Realistic commercial security challenges
The addition of a heavy-duty chain attachment point gives instructors the ability to create countless training scenarios, helping firefighters develop the mindset and skillset needed to quickly evaluate and overcome security obstacles in the field.
Whether youโre teaching forcible entry, saw operations, or commercial building challenges, the Lock Sleeve adds another layer of realism that translates directly to the street.
Train with purpose:

Forcing doors isnโt about getting lucky. Itโs about understanding the door, controlling the gap, and making the push when it matters most.
At Woodโs Forcible Entry, we believe realistic reps build real confidence. From inward and outward swinging doors to commercial metal doors and fortified residential setups, our props are built to prepare firefighters for the challenges theyโll actually face on the fireground.
Train with purpose.
Train with resistance.
Train for the moment the door HAS to come open.
Our systems are designed to give departments repeatable, realistic forcible entry training that stands up to aggressive use and keeps crews sharpening their skills.
Because smooth forcible entry doesnโt happen by accidentโit happens through reps.
