Forced entry practice device for a door

1. A forced entry practice device for a door, comprising:

a housing assembly configured to be installed in a cutout of a door, the door pivotally connected to a door frame and movable between an open position and a closed position, the housing assembly defining a cavity and having an opening in communication with the cavity, the opening proximate to an edge of the door when the housing assembly is installed in the cutout, and the housing assembly including a slot extending through a side portion thereof and in communication with the cavity;

a block slidably coupled to the housing assembly, the block including an end portion movable between a first position extending outwardly from the cavity and a second position at least partially disposed within the cavity;

a pin connected to and extending outwardly from the block, the pin received in and slidable between opposing ends of the slot, thereby limiting movement of the end portion of the block relative to the housing assembly by a predetermined distance;

a first support arm extending outwardly from the housing assembly and disposable across a first face of the door, and a second support arm extending outwardly from the housing assembly and disposable across a second face of the door, so that a central portion of the door is disposed between the first support arm and the second support arm when the housing assembly is installed in the cutout;

a third support arm extending outwardly from the housing assembly and disposable across the first face adjacent to the edge of the door, and a fourth support arm extending outwardly from the housing assembly and disposable across the second face adjacent to the edge of the door, so that a portion of the door adjacent to the edge thereof is disposed between the third support arm and the fourth support arm when the housing assembly is installed in the cutout;

a casing configured to be coupleable to a door jamb of the door frame, the casing including a first engagement member;

a second engagement member coupled to the housing assembly; and

a retaining member including a first portion receivable in the first engagement member when the casing is coupled to the door jamb, and a second portion receivable in the second engagement member when the housing assembly is installed in the cutout, the door maintained in the closed position when the first and second portions of the retaining member are received in the first and second engagement members, respectively.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the end portion of the block includes an edge, the edge being substantially coplanar with the edge of the door when the block is disposed in the first position.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first support arm is substantially parallel to the second support arm.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the retaining member is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of wood, wood composite, and plastic.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the retaining member is decoupled from the second portion when the door is moved from its closed position to its open position and the first and second portions are received in the first and second engagement members, respectively.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first engagement member defines a first opening through which the first portion of the retaining member extends, and the second engagement member defines a second opening through which the second portion of the retaining member extends.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the casing includes a first section coupleable to a first side of the door jamb and a second section coupleable to an opposing second side of the door jamb.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the first section is movably coupled to the second section so that the casing accommodates door jambs of various widths.

9. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a resilient member disposed within the cavity, the resilient member biasing the block toward its first position.

10. A forced entry practice device for a door, comprising:

a housing assembly configured to be installed in a cutout of a door, the door pivotally connected to a door frame and movable between an open position and a closed position, the housing assembly defining a cavity and having an opening in communication with the cavity, the opening proximate to an edge of the door when the housing assembly is installed in the cutout, and the housing assembly including a slot extending through a side portion thereof and in communication with the cavity;

a block slidably coupled to the housing assembly, the block including an end portion movable between a first position extending outwardly from the cavity and a second position at least partially disposed within the cavity;

a pin connected to and extending outwardly from the block, the pin received in and slidable between opposing ends of the slot, thereby limiting movement of the end portion of the block relative to the housing assembly by a predetermined distance;

a first pair of support arms extending outwardly from the housing assembly and disposable across a central portion of the door;

a second pair of support arms extending outwardly from the housing assembly and disposable along an edge of the door, the second pair of support arms substantially perpendicular to the first pair of support arms;

a casing coupleable to a door jamb of a door frame associated with the door;

a first engagement portion coupled to the casing;

a second engagement portion coupled to the housing assembly; and

a retaining member including a first section receivable in the first engagement portion when the casing is coupled to the door jamb, and a second section receivable in the second engagement portion when the housing assembly is installed in the cutout, the edge of the door maintained proximate to the door jamb when the first and second sections are received in the first and second engagement portions, respectively.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the retaining member is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of wood, wood composite, and plastic.

12. The device of claim 10 , further comprising an auxiliary member coupleable to the casing, the auxiliary member including a channel configured to receive a bumper member.

13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first pair of support arms includes a first support arm and a second support arm, the first support arm extendable across a first face of the central portion of the door, and the second support arm extendable across a second face of the door, so that the central portion of the door is disposed between the first support arm and the second support arm when the housing assembly is installed in the cutout.

14. The device of claim 10 , wherein the second pair of support arms includes a first support arm and a second support arm, the first support arm extendable across the first face and along the edge of the door, and the second support arm extendable across the second face and along the edge of the door, so that a portion of the door adjacent to the edge thereof is disposed between the first support arm and the second support arm when the housing assembly is installed in the cutout.
