Yes. Breaching Technologies is a certified GSA contract holder under contract GS-07F-0206T, providing GSA pricing to eligible federal agencies. BTI also participates in the Cooperative Purchasing Program, extending purchasing opportunities to qualified state and local government entities.

Public retail pricing is shown on each product. Add the items you need to a quote and submit it, or contact a BTI specialist directly — we'll confirm specs, lead times, and any GSA or distributor pricing you qualify for.

No, all leg kits and consumables must be purchased separately. Leg kits are not required when mounting the door to a fitted structure.

BTI doors range from 39.75" to 48.25" in width and 83.75" in height. See the manuals for exact specs and mounting instructions for all doors.

BTI doors range from 135 lb (Lite Door) to 550 lb (Hydraulic Door).

BTI has successfully breached our Explosive Door with 300 GPF (grains per foot) using a pushing/tamped charge. The bomb technician, explosive breacher, engineer, sapper, or whoever is in charge of the range should use common sense when using explosives. The maximum charge should be the charge deemed safe by the individual in charge that successfully opens the door. We recommend the metal surface be examined for cracks and x-rayed on a regular basis for safety.

Yes. BTI tries to accommodate our customers with custom orders. BTI works with our engineer, at the customer's expense, to design and build custom projects.

Yes, but BTI recommends the rough opening be lined with wood or steel to reduce stress on the mounting points. Lining the rough opening distributes force.

BTI engineers the pins to break at different forces, so replicating "real life" forces is possible. White or clear pins break at approximately 400 psi. Blue pins break at approximately 600 psi. Red pins break at approximately 900 psi. With a 3-lock set, applicable forces can be adjusted from 400 lbs to 2,700 lbs.

The hydraulic door is a very heavy door requiring a 215 lb base plate (at an additional cost). The base is only required when using the door free standing. It is not required when mounting the door into an existing structure.
