Just like on TV: The real-life art of kicking in a door

Former NSW police officer Dan Hampton shares the technique for kicking in a wooden door: strike just beside the doorknob to target the structurally weakest point where the lock meets the frame. The method requires body weight transfer rather than size, though deadlocked doors prove impossible. Hampton notes most people succeed on standard doors if they overcome psychological hesitation.
