Rex Tool 101. (Thru-The-Lock on Mortise Locks)
Finally got around to editing about 3 hours of forcible entry video we have into short training sessions. We will start off with Thru-The-Lock tactics on mortise locks using the Rex Tool. Hope it is useful.

I have spun the lock off quite a few doors on alarms, but I’ve never used the Rex Tool so I’m unfamilar with it. In spinning the lock out when we clear we can simply screw it back in after we’ve locked the door and leave it secure. In using the Rex Tool, does it not damage the threads when you pull the lock or do it just break the screws like it does when we spin one off?
I liked the speed with how quickly the tool works

The Rex does typically damage the threads, every once in a while you can put them back in. But I agree with you, if it is an investigation or something that is slower moving, then unscrew it and put it back in afterwards. If it is a fire just pull the cylinder, it is much quicker and still does very little damage. The other reason we use the rex a lot would be for the cylinder guards and shrouds that prevent you from unscrewing the lock. We find these on a regular basis. Someone that is good on these Rex tools will find that it is the absolute quickest way in these doors.

Gret video with awesome info. Quick question, what is the name of that belt the guy is wearing in the video and where can I get it? I have seen them and would like to get one.
