Forcible Entry Through Hinges

This video is about Hinges FE

Awesome video. Most FE vids are only showing hinge attacks on low security hinges. I particularly like that you showed these higher security hinges that wrap the top of the door. However, a lot of commercial/educational institutions are moving toward continuous geared hinges (esp educational because they don't pinch little fingers). I would love to see how these hinges hold up versus traditional irons as well as the K12. I'm not sure irons would do much except make the door harder to open by jamming the gears, but I haven't yet found a video that even shows an attempt. I'm thinking of a multi-point full mortise locking commercial steel door, in a steel frame, with continuous geared hinges as the worst case scenario for an entry door in regular use (so no drop bar). Obviously you put a drop bar or two on that for added difficulty but there are plenty of videos showing drop bar techniques already. Keep at it boys, great job.

Would shocking the hinges with a flat head axe or sledge work before applying the Halligan help?
