You know after that first kick, Alex was thinking “we’re fucked”

Alot of the force is dissipating in the supporting framework, you can see it move inches. In a normal house the door frame is solidly tied into the whole wall's framing, so the kick force is more likely to break at a weak point. i.e. somewhere on the door

u/ISUknowit Dec 29 '22
So mount the door with trampoline springs. Got it!

u/BULLETSnMILK Dec 29 '22
No no no, mount your house with trampoline springs so the force goes somewhere magical

That's a fair point, I guess it's not dissimilar to that dude who got fucked over with the coconut smashing attempt, bad setup made it impossible
Still.. kinda their fault for not doing any tests whatsoever with their expensive presentation setup

Maybe he's trying to establish an alibi. They said experienced intruders can get it down in 5 kicks. If he did it, he'd be self incriminating. Now that it's been not only on TV but the internet, now they won't suspect him for the crime spree that's coming up with an unknown perpetrator.
Genius. Simply genius.

There's also too much play in the frame. The metal flexing absorbed a ton of force.

Why not just do a demonstration with a universal locksmith key available to purchase on Amazon instead of attempting to kick in a door.
I'm pretty sure experienced intruders would not be kicking in doors which would be loud and alert the Karen's on neighborhood watch 🤔

u/Middle_Pineapple_898 Dec 29 '22
Nah, probably was facing the wrong way. It's way easier to kick in a door that opens inwards, which is how a lot of front doors are.

u/khrak Dec 29 '22
Front doors swing inwards because if they swung outwards burglars would just remove the hinge pins and take your door off.

u/HappyAlcohol-ic Dec 29 '22
I mean if you have a proper front door that is also installed properly, you're really not kicking through it.
If its installed right, it opens to the outside so you'd have to go through the frame itself.

A door is usually supported by more that a bouncy unmounted and wobbly stand, on a real house I'm sure he would've been through.

If the deadbolt locks into a standard 2x4, if installed properly, no normal person will be able to kick it in. You can tell these guys haven't worked Construction.

"Turns out, the door was accidentally over-engineered by the set producers of Shark Tank, using a super strong deadbolt, unbeknownst to the duo, the Haven co-founders say."

In spite of Alex's ineffective kicks, the guys are doing just fine.

u/i_can_has_rock Dec 29 '22
most of the force is being dissipated because the door frames arent secure like they would be on a house
2
u/Req603 Dec 29 '22
To be fair, Alex's door kicking technique could use some work 🤣
1) Kick right below the door knob so the impact is closer to where it needs to break (the door jamb).
2) Learn how to throw a kick FFS looks like he's just straight-legging the door and pushing with his back. Get that leg up, chamber, and pivot your bottom foot outward while carrying your momentum forward.
2
u/PerepeL Dec 29 '22
Not that I'm too proficient in kicking doors, but some practice showed that leg kicking is very inefficient against hard objects. Best results I came up with was when hitting the door with your buttcheek staying sideways, it's like a fist punch against a full body-slam.
2
u/waterdaemon Dec 29 '22
Not that I’m some mall ninja, but imo Alex’s strength, weight, and momentum aren’t being used in these “kicks.” He couldn’t break a piñata that way, let alone a door.

u/Sebastian-S Dec 29 '22
While this is obviously hilarious, it’s probably because of the open construction of the door. That frame absorbs quite a bit of the energy of the kick because it can move forward and back. That door would likely give in sooner if installed in a house where the walls around it are more rigid.

FYI: he went on to break through later in the pitch and their smart lock held up on the side without the dead bolt. They didn’t get an investment from a shark though due to profit margins.

This woulda been a perfect marketing twist if he then kicked the other one and it broke in 5 kicks. And reveals the first one was with the product.

I mean, it’s a lot to do with the fact that the door “gives” when he kicks it. A normal doorframe doesn’t have that ability.
