Door Installation

This door may be mounted in a training structure, range, shot house, live fire facility, etc.
It may also be utilized with the optional freestanding kit. The freestanding kits are
interchangeable between all of BTI’s Breaching Doors. Diagrams for mounting the door
in a standard wall opening can be seen on the last page of this manual. Conversely an
example of the typical door setup for freestanding training can be seen on the second to
last page.

Wall Installation

Installation of the BTI training door into an existing opening or
new frame type structure is shown in the accompanying
diagram on the last page of this manual. Provisions for
mounting the training door in a “pre-hung” fashion have been
provided in the four metal mounting ears. Alternate means of
mounting such as face mounting or welding are up to the
purchaser; however, BTI Inc. cannot warrantee products that
are mounted in ways that weaken the door structure or are
inconsistent with factory design and testing.

Free Standing

The Free Standing Kit may be installed to allow the door to be
utilized in a multitude of locations and scenarios. The
accompanying diagram, on the second to last page, shows the
assembly method and mounting hole locations for a typical BTI
door system. Your freestanding kit includes stakes for
anchoring on soft surfaces such as gravel and asphalt. Alternate
methods using concrete anchors or similar methods may be
used on hard surfaces.

Caution

It should be noted that the door design
incorporates funneling type structures at the
shotgun firing areas to minimize splatter and
ricocheting of fired rounds. The down range
areas should be evaluated when installing the
door to make certain it is a safe to shoot area.
The door is reinforced to provide realistic
“shoot and kick” training. The area the door falls into should be clear
and the door should fall flat. The door should never be located with an
incline behind it or any type of obstruction that could cause permanent
damage to the door or its hinges.
