Anyone see the police smashing their way (well, trying to) into a suspect
drug dealer's house? On TV tonight. As far as I could see, the door opened
OUT, and their efforts to get in with their ram (or is it called a 'tup')
were wasted. A lever/crowbar would have been more effective. In the event,
it appears that they ruined the lock and the householder had to open the
garage door to let them in.

I will bear this in mind next time I fit a door.

I doubt it. If you had a line of business that may attract the
attention of the heavy mob I think you'd take some precautions in
slowing them down.

Much more exciting in real life

I sat on a wall by the "Police do not cross" line camera in one hand,
beer in the other watching it happen - who said that Watford is boring?

They should have asked 'The Bill'. Never any trouble smashing a door in
there...

You can always tell when they are guilty: They are the ones on council
estates with burglar alarms and no jobs. Big timers have roller
shutters on their doors. And total winkers wear body armour.

Saddoes.

IIRC old Frank Burnside was a champion door smasher.
