You may need to kick down a door for many reasons, you locked your keys in a locked room, or your house, and for whatever reason you need to get in and can't utilize or wait for other means. Before we start let me just say that, if at all possible, you should use another means to get through the door that's locked, it's safer and generally easier; that said, lets get started.
- Remain calm; if you're calm and collected you have a much better chance of striking your target correctly and have less chance that you could possibly hurt yourself.
- Aim for just above or below the door handle, unless there is a dead bolt, then you want to aim for that. Try and make the heel of your foot the main area to strike, as you will get the most force from that spot. The reason to aim for that spot is because that is where the door frame will be weakest and breaks most readily.
- Stand in front of the door, and raise your dominate foot.
- Using a swift kick, connect with the door and at the same time bring all of your body weight behind the kick to give it extra umph.
- Repeat step 4 until the door opens.
Before you attempt to break down a door, always try other means first, such as picking the lock. If you think about it, give a spare key to a friend or relative. If you are trying to get into a locked room to help someone, tell them to get as far away from the door as they can, and if possible to put something between themselves and the door
Also remember that kicking a door is hard work and physically demanding, be sure that you are up to the challenge before attempting.
