In the industry they are NRP's and required on outswing commercial. We did a test — remove all the pins and try and get the hinge barrels to slide past each other, By the time you fool with that you could be inside with the same large pry bar needed to move the door over to get those to pass. IF you know how and have the tool, you can bend the hinge barrels away and they will pass each other. Common thieves are so stupid they will walk by 3 easy opportunities and begin hacking at something much more difficult.

The correct size brake fitting wrench is the preferred tool. Yeah, tweakers have lot of those.


I could take the pins with me and leave and feel safe.
