One person got evicted. She is a Royal pita. She had changed the locks and refused to give me the keys. We suspected there was somebody still in her room. Took about 10 kicks and to smashes using my shoulder.

😠

So technically you didn't kick down the door, rook.

 
no, but had it done to us.  About 20 years ago, mid-day, some thieves drove up to my house and kicked in the front door and robbed us.  They didn't get much because one of the neighbors walked out and saw a strange car in the driveway (they left a guy in the car as a watch out - who then ran in and got the other guys).  

Apparently, the key is to kick right at the deadbolt lock.  Our front door has those glass panels on either side, so the bracing for the deadbolt isn't nearly as secure as you can make it normally.  

They did catch the guys.  It was three guys, the lead guy used his girlfriend's car.  My neighbor got the license number of car and the rest was history.  We did not get the few things they stole back, however.  And my $1K house insurance deductible just about covered the door damage repair - another $1K out of my pocket.

Damn, Bink...sorry to hear.

But, the near exact same thing happened to me, in 2005. My house got hit 2 days in a row.

I came home from work one day - and found my door kick'd in, just like you. They got an old tv, my lap top & XBOX, 2 cheap-y guitars, some old stereo equipment - but nothing of real value. 

So, since I could not get my door repaired quickly, I worked from home the next day. Well, around noon, I got a call and had to run to plant site for about an hour. When I got home, they had kicked my door in again. This time they got a nice TV, some china, a desktop PC, my dvd/cd collection and some other minor things.

They never caught the guy, but I have a very good idea who it was. A meth'er that lived with his mom down the street. He died of an OD around 2006.

I've had zero problems since.

Oh, irt to question:

4-5. never even close to as clean as on TV, tho

This, but I only did it once.

It probably took me as many kicks to drop that one, as it took wikkid to blow those 5.

 
I went....other.

Back in my wild man roaming the west coast days me and a buddy got back from our "let's get drunk and ask stupid" trek, to find out he'd lost his keys, Yep, couldn't get in his apartment,  I lived 80 miles south. The plan was to just bumped the door open causing little damage, nope.  So after a few bump, bump, bump, we got mad, so....the hell with this.  We even took a running start (both footballers) and.,...BANG...down goes the door right off it's hinges as we go rolling into the apartment. Yep, got up laughing  like a couple drunks would.

What was really funny was just sticking the door back up the best we could for the night.

If loaded we would handled it totally different.

Was this in your house or an apartment or someone else's house or what? Paint me a picture, please...

Mental health transition housing. Placed closed back January. But the eviction process was not handled correctly which is why it took so long. 2 people wouldn't leave until they finally got a court order.

Now my job for the next month is to not allow any squatters on the property.

Wait. You evicted someone who had refused to leave a mental health facility? Doesn't that imply that they need more mental health services?

 
When I was younger, drunker, and considerably heavier I took a running start into a door and knocked the entire door AND frame out of the wall and flattened the whole thing :coffee:  

 
Never a door but went through a wall. Technically two walls, our apartment and the girls next door. We suspected there was nothing but two layers of sheet rock, and we were right.

FTR, the neighbors knew we were going to do it. Alcohol was a factor. Yes, we were in college, how’d you guess?

 
Apartments were I was stationed.   Adrenaline must have been going pretty good because I kicked it once by the deadbolt and fell into the room.  Probably helped that I had my combat boots on? 

 
once because our upstairs neighbors, who we had apparently sufficiently irritated for a year, moved out and set an alarm to trigger Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" to boom out of a pair of massive subwoofers at 3 AM on a weeknight. pretty angry at the time but in retrospect.. very funny.

once awakened by a drunken roommate who kicked down our backdoor in a drunken fugue. thought someone was breaking in. ran out of my room in boxers with a bat to see him standing there slack-jawed & empty eyed staring in to the distance. then he left the way he came.

 
Never kicked one in but trying to shoot the lock off a door isn't as easy as it looks either.

Had a door kick in my ego one time.

Years ago was at a friends house having some drinks with a bunch of people. We were fresh out of college, and there was this girl there I was trying to talk to and impress. I got up to go inside to go to the restroom and walked right into an amazingly clean sliding glass door.

My ego and planned boner for later that night shriveled up into a weeping version of myself. 

 
Once, locked myself out.  This time was too lazy drunk to crawl through the crawl space again.  Supersized to see how easy it is to break a dead bolted door jam.  Locks really don't do anything other than provide evidence of a break in if someone really wants in.

 
Come to think of it, it's not very hard to replace a door jam either (wood).  

Bring extra door jam, break in, replace door jam, paint to match.  No one knows you were ever there.  Hmmmm.

get a reinforced strike plate that uses 4 long screws that go well into the stud behind the jamb, instead of the common 2 short screws that just attach to the jamb only.    It still can fail under a force attack, but you've made it significantly stronger this way.

It's a good thing that the average person who kicks in doors isn't smart enough to come up with this.

Yes but I was drunk and couldn't figure out the whole "inswing or outswing" thing.

In my limited experience, this analysis is crucial to your success in kicking a door in.  In one case, I was able to successfully blow out the locking mechanism and blast the door open (I was breaking out, long story.)  In another, a young lady's boyfriend tried to kick her door in when he correctly suspected I was inside with her in the early morning hours.  He couldn't kick it in, but the hollow door was so cheap and weak, he put his boot entirely through it and was able to gain entry by reaching through and unlocking the door with his hand.  The worst part of that encounter was me scrambling to get some clothes on while he was charging inside, still mostly drunk and waking from a full sleep, and only managing to get my boxers on before the action got underway.  Unfortunately, I was disappointed to realize I was wearing a pair of oversized white boxers with large purple polka dots that evening, not my most intimidating look.

After my house was burgled, I did just that. Plus a full alarm system, window bars, etc.

The pro's advised me that really wasn't enough. If someone really wanted to get in; they would find a method. 

The most frequently mentioned was the ol'chainsaw thru the roof or wall trick.

Luckily, nobody is that interested in my crap - not even me.

 
I feel like it would have been a lot less costly to get a locksmith out... but that's just me.

 
No, but I had my own kicked in a number of times in college. I joined a fraternity, but couldn't afford the fraternity dues plus separate housing costs. So, I lived in the frat house as a pledge. That wasn't very much fun. Older guys come home drunk from the bar, and want a gopher to go get them some food? Sure, let's kick the pledges door in and make him do it. After 4-5 times of that, and rehanging the door, I just went without a door the rest of that semester.

"Sorry about your wall.  Now you have a drive through window at least.  You should've just opened the door though.  While we're talking now....I need you to make a Cumby's run.  Get dressed and put your burlap sack on."

 
25 years ago I was able to use my shoulder to take down a sliding, mirrored closet door.  Only took the one try  

Apparently they cost about $200 through Hilton. 

 
Yes. Bathroom door in my house. Kid locked it and closed it with water running. I was so mad I kicked it open.

Not nearly as cool as a movie though.  It just kinda broke in the middle and bent enough that the locking mechanism came away from the wall damaged and it opened.
