&lt;div&gt;=Destructive Entry=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Destructive_entry_door_breach_marines.jpg|thumb|right|text-top|300px|A United States Marine uses destrutive entry to breach a door in Kharma, Iraq.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Destructive entry&#039;&#039;&#039; (or &#039;&#039;&#039;forced entry&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a method of entry characterized by damage to or destruction of a [[Lock|lock]], [[Safe|safe]], or surrounding objects, such as a [[door]], window, or wall. It is the primary method of entry in the majority of criminal cases involving the compromise of physical security, and is commonly employed by law enforcement and military personnel for rapid entry to a residence or facility. [[Locksmithing|Locksmiths]] make use of destructive entry to service and remove high-security locks and safes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destructive entry is contrasted with various forms of [[Covert_Entry|covert]] and [[Surreptitious_Entry|surreptitious]] entry because of easily identifiable evidence of a compromise attempt or success. Many destructive techniques leave the lock or safe non-functional or otherwise impaired. In many cases repair or replacement of damaged components is attempted to hide evidence of entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Methods of Destructive Entry ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destructive entry can take many forms, some of which are extremely dangerous to the user, others in the vicinity, and forensic investigators or law enforcement personnel. The choice of method depends on the personal preference, skill level, tools, time allowed for entry, and financial resources of the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At heart, all methods use energy or force in a directed manner to displace, damage, destroy, or weaken components. In most cases security is greatly reduced once components lose structural or molecular integrity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Chemicals&lt;br /&gt;
: Use of chemicals to affect the molecular structure of components. Chemicals, namely acids, to corrode, disintegrate, or dissolve components. Like temperature, chemicals often leave components vulnerable to other attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Compression&lt;br /&gt;
: Use of pressure against a component in complementary directions. Essentially, the opposite of tension. Causes distortion, compaction, or breakage of components. Compression is most often used to reduce the strength of materials so that other methods can be used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Impact&lt;br /&gt;
: Use of pressure and shock against a component. Striking and explosives are most common. Impact has a wide variety of results, including fracturing, breakage, deformation, and compression. Some methods of [[Bypass|bypass]] use impact to retract the locking [[Bolt|bolt]], most of which are destructive. [[Explosive|Explosives]] are one of the most dangerous methods of destructive entry, and use has dwindled with time as safer alternatives, such as drilling, have become popular. Another popular form of entry, usually utilised by law enforcement and fire personnel is the use of a specialised door ram, these usually consist of a metal tube with various handling points on as well as a internal kinetic energy improver. This is usually in the form of a spring or a slider housed internally of the tube. Such tools are made by Blackhawk and Stigma UK respectively.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Shearing&lt;br /&gt;
: Use of pressure on a component placed betweeeen two edges. Cutting, chopping, and drilling are included in this category. Drilling is the most popular method of destructive [[Safecracking|safecracking]] and removal of locks by a locksmith.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Temperature&lt;br /&gt;
: Use of extreme temperature to affect the molecular structure of components. High temperatures can vaporize, burn, melt, or re-temper components. Re-tempering can leave components soft or brittle, thus vulnerable to many other attacks. Low temperatures are less common, but can be used for similar purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Tension&lt;br /&gt;
: Use of pressure on a component in opposite directions. Stretching, pulling, prying, bending, or ripping are included in this category.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Torsion&lt;br /&gt;
: Use of rotational pressure (torque) on a component. Twisting and torque are included in this category. Causes shearing, compression, and deformation of components.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Security Ratings and Standards=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lock]]s and [[safe]]s are standardized and rated by their ability to resist attack from pre-defined [[Lock#Compromise_of_locks|compromise]] techniques. The rating given to a particular lock or safe is a measure of the level of protection it is meant to provide, usually measured in time. Many government and law enforcement agencies use these ratings to select their own locks as well as recommend them to the public.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Various ratings and standards organizations around the world develop standards for locks, lock [[cylinder]]s, and associated hardware, such as [[bolt]]s and [[latch]]es. In the United States, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) are the primary ratings organizations. In Europe, the European Committee for Standardization (Comite European de Normalisation) (CEN) provide rating and testing systems for security devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, security ratings have come under increased scrutiny by security professionals and [[locksport]] groups for failing to include &amp;quot;real-world&amp;quot; compromise techniques and scenarios. Much of this criticism began with the media attention surrouding [[Bumping|key bumping]].&lt;br /&gt;

Please note that CEN standards are valid throughout most of Europe and are also listed under an individual countries standard system too. For example, EN 1300:2004 is known as BS EN 1300:2004 in Britain and NS-EN 1300 in Norway. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Security Ratings and Standards=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lock]]s and [[safe]]s are standardized and rated by their ability to resist attack from pre-defined [[Lock#Compromise_of_locks|compromise]] techniques. The rating given to a particular lock or safe is a measure of the level of protection it is meant to provide, usually measured in time. Many government and law enforcement agencies use these ratings to select their own locks as well as recommend them to the public.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Various ratings and standards organizations around the world develop standards for locks, lock [[cylinder]]s, and associated hardware, such as [[bolt]]s and [[latch]]es. In the United States, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) are the primary ratings organizations. In Europe, the European Committee for Standardization (Comite European de Normalisation) (CEN) provide rating and testing systems for security devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, security ratings have come under increased scrutiny by security professionals and [[locksport]] groups for failing to include &amp;quot;real-world&amp;quot; compromise techniques and scenarios. Much of this criticism began with the media attention surrouding [[Bumping|key bumping]].&lt;br /&gt;

== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the United States, the Safe Manufacturers National Association originally tested safes and vaults. In 1921, Underwriters Laboratories began testing burglar alarms and locks. In 1923 they began testing safes, and in 1925 they began testing vault doors.&lt;br /&gt;
