Q&A for How to Kick Down a Door

To bust it with one kick, you must be very strong or the door has to be very weak. There is simply no other way. Also, there is absolutely no way you can make it silent.

Make sure you apply enough force to knock down that door. Make sure you're kicking it next to the knob of the door. But be careful, this can injure you badly. Raise one of your legs high enough to the knob, but make sure you're not too far or too close to the door. Apply all the force you've got into the kick. You might not do it right on the first try, it will take time and practice. Only do this in an emergency, not for fun.

If you have tools available, you could try using a screwdriver to unscrew the hinges on the door (if they're on the dining-room side). If not, you could try using something to smash a large enough hole in the door to put your hand safely through and turn the knob from the living-room side, or use the advice in the article to kick it down.

It depends on what material the door is made from and your strength. If you’re very strong and the door is made of hollow wood, then you should be able to kick it down. Make sure you don’t hit the knob and injure yourself, and if it doesn't come down on the first try, use your foot.

Yes. Stalls are very flimsy, making it easier for you to kick them down.

It depends. In general, what matters most is how strongly armored the door is, and how strong the woman is.

People are only "better" at doing something requiring strength if they are stronger, so if a certain man is kind of weak but there is a woman who works out a lot, then she will likely be able to kick it down better.

It's possible if you do not do it correctly, like if you hit the knob or kick in an odd position. It is best to kick just above or below the knob.
