Why I Love Plastic Door Shims: Respectful Entry
This series of videos shows different ways I use plastic door shims during respectful entry.
Video Series 1: Shims used on an inward opening door. This is replicating the old credit card trick… only this plastic wraps around the door stop/jamb easier. Remember, this technique will only work if the door lock is not installed properly (dead latch falls into keeper hole).

Video Series 2: Shims are used to defeat a panic par latch. You would find this set up on an outward opening door. I cut a shark fin into the plastic to grab the latch. Once again, this only works if the panic bar doesn’t have a dead latch, or the lock wasn’t installed properly (dead latch not engaged).
Video Series 3: Shims vs. Hotel locks. You will see the shark fin cut out again.

Pretty clever, definitely a step beyond the old credit card trick!
I wonder if the plastic cutting mats from the Dollar store would be the correct thickness and rigidity ? Will give it a try Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your adventures.
Fantastic video. I like to use a "quality" cheap 3 ring binder. The best, most durable plastic I have found. What did you use?

I never thought about using one of those binders. I have tried cutting up old plastic jugs, without much luck. I currently use commercially made ones from Sparrows Lock Picks. I have also used the Firefighter Swipe Tool in the past.
