For Lt. Jackson, I think if you give them to your Captain he could post them for you..
The problem appears to be many manufacturers with different methods of attatchments. One operation will not be our standard for all styles.. So along the lines of lock systems, so will be the new steel plated HUDS.
Just my opinion.

I have good pics of this vacant building security system? Can someone tell me how to post them. I also am going to receive a power point presentation on how to get into these buildings I would like to share that also.

We are just starting to see these in my city. here, they are frequently seen on single family dwellings with masonite or wood siding. My crew has decided that in the name of safety we will cut the siding out next to the door if at all possible, and enter through the wall! The doors can then be opened up from inside, and the cross members across the windows can be cut or removed via universal key (axe).

It is not recommended to cut the cable, as it is under EXTREME tension and could potentially harm the person cutting the cable.

Thanks for that link. That video shows some great shots of how these enclosures are secured from the inside. -Jimm-

this is a link to the sales pitch video on the company that makes this lockup stuff. You can see some of what it looks like on the inside.

You can always try the SWAT technique and put some tow chains with the long hooks and use the cheifs SUV to rip them off

Does anyone have the name of the company that builds these? I would like to find out a bit more about these products.

We have them in our city also. Our plan of attack is to use either a metal cutting saw or the torch depending on conditions.

IF INSIDE YOU COULD USE A SET OF KNIPEX CABLE CUTTERS TO CUT THE TENSION CABLE THAT SETS THESE SYSTEMS INTO THE FRAME OR OPENING. STAY SAFE BROTHERS
