Hey guys, welcome back to the channel. Now, a while back, I had some bother outside my property and I ended up chasing away a load of stalkers away from my house. Check this out.
>> TWIST YOUR HEAD OFF. ALL OF YOU GET OFF. YOU RIPPING my hair off.
Now, not only do I get the odd stalker lingering around, I've had people enter the property and literally [music] try to fight me on more than one occasion. people constantly pestering the property and the family trying to get to me for various reasons. [music] And you know what?
It is mostly innocent stuff like wanting pictures, wanting autographs, or just to meet me and shake my hand. There has been way too many occasions where people just don't understand the word no. And it's got to the point where intervention is needed on more than a few occasions.
And not too long ago, somebody decided it was a good idea to climb over my fence at nighttime. Now, luckily for me, I've got a fully trained attack dog that knows when someone's up to no good. Unfortunately for him, I would not like to see what his arm looked like after that.
So, I've decided to up my security. Now, we have the best CCT3 system money can buy. These are 8K definition cameras all around the property, 30 of them in total, and they are monitored 24/7 by a team in London.
On top of that, I have a steel spike fence around the entire perimeter. It's got barb wire on top and I've just planted conifers every half a meter. So over time that's going to create a really nice privacy barrier and another physical barrier to get through.
And let's not forget Mr Wolf, my fully trained attack dog that prowls the grounds 24/7. I've also got Easter Island heads all over the property and they've got built-in lasers, so if anyone steps on, they're going to get scorched to death by a load of lasers. That's obviously a joke.
Now, that's just the outside of the house. Then there's the actual house itself. It's got ballistic grade windows all around the property.
It's got high-grade security shutters that come down and cover all the first initial points into the house. Now, I guess this is all great until you get into the stats. What percentage of break-ins happen through different places and parts of the house?
Around 30% of break-ins happen through windows and openings. So, it's fair to say I've got that pretty covered with the shutters and the ballistic grade glass. And that leaves around 70% of break-ins coming through a door of some sort.
And honestly, that is quite shocking. But when you actually think about it, it's an easy entrance point. And also, when you've got TVs and PlayStations under your arms, it's an easy exit point as well.
So, it kind of makes sense. But there's a problem. So, I guess when you look at everything I've done, the cameras, the fences, the ballistic windows, the shutters, it doesn't really matter as you're only as strong as your weakest link.
Let's go and have a look. And that weakest link for me is the front door. Now, this is just a standard composite door, which I proved in a previous video.
It only took me 25 seconds to get through. Check this out. So this leaves me with a major concern and worry for my kids that reside here.
I am hardly ever here and I work so hard to provide for them. I spend all this money and employ all these people to look after the property when essentially someone could just get through it all in 25 seconds. So, if you remember from a previous video of the world's strongest man versus the world's strongest door, which I just showed you a glimpse of, you will see I work with a door company called Leam Steel Doors, who I know have made some big leaps into the residential door industry since then.
Now, for clarity, in the last video, Leven's created a door so good I literally could not get through it with all the tools and all the strength in the world. It was that tough. I ended up breaking the actual brick work around the door and actually ripping the whole frame out rather than going through the door itself.
So, fair play to levers. Now, the problem being and the reason I didn't have a door on the back of that video is nobody wants a big horrible steel door on the front of your house. So, I rang the owner up and I asked him to make me something that's not only secure, i.
e. lasts more than 25 seconds to get through, but also looks good and matches the grand Luke of the house. Now, I made that call a couple of weeks ago and I am off to Len Steel's factory today to see what prototype he has come up with and go and put it to the test.
So, I'm heading to the factory right now. Come with me. Pretty cool suspension, eh?
Right, we're here at Labrooms. Al, >> how are you, man? >> Hi, Eddie.
>> How you doing, mate? You okay? >> Good, thanks.
Good to see you. >> And you, man. >> We got your message and we've made a good start.
I'm looking forward to showing you what we've done. >> You've started it already. Let's get in there.
down there. How big the battery is. >> This is our first attempt at a residential door based on your brief.
>> Okay. So, this Wow. Okay.
So, what's the difference from this from the old the old composite door? So, my door in my house at the minute is just like the typical composite door, just like plastic, bits of metal in there. >> On the video I did with you, I got through that in 25 seconds.
>> Yes. with a sledgehammer. So, I can in essence get through my own front door in 25 seconds with a sledgehammer.
And that's why we're here today. I want you to improve on that. So, what's what's different?
>> So, what makes this different to that composite door is this has a steel skin. So, I'm expecting it to hold up a lot better than that door did. >> Okay.
And then what about thermal? >> That is the biggest selling point of this range. Um because we've added polyurethane injection into the door leaf.
Yeah. >> It's a got a really strong thermal value. >> Poly UFA.
>> PU foam. >> PU foam. What?
What is that? >> It's like an insulation. >> Can you show me?
What is it? >> Absolutely. Here.
>> Okay. So, this is a cut out of the door. >> Mhm.
>> All right. So, you got this, mate. That's so simple.
>> Yep. >> There's no way that's going to stop me. So, just a layer of foam and two two bits of steel either side.
You think that's going to stop me? >> Yep. The foam actually dissipates the energy.
So, we're really interested to see You reckon that the foam actually reinforces the steel in a way? >> Yeah. >> Okay.
So, that is essentially the thermal and the reinforcement. >> Indeed. >> Are you all right if I uh get the old sledgehammer and give it a test?
>> I think so. go. We are outside like last time on the previous World's Strongest Man versus World's Strongest Door.
We have purpose made a wall to replicate a house. Now, this is like the same fitness as what a house. It's got the normal house brick, breeze [music] brick.
Frames put in set back like it would be in a house. The back of the door is all reinforced with wood and steel framing. So all the stress and strain is on the door.
And unfortunately this time I won't be able to knock through the wall. They've made it all the stress on the door. But this is more realistic.
So the standard composite door last time took me 25 seconds. >> Okay. So basically I'm going to try and beat 25 seconds.
>> That's going to be our target this time again. Okay. Yeah.
Okay. >> Okay. 3 2 1 go.
Time >> 37 seconds. >> 37. It felt It felt way longer than that.
[laughter] my life. Okay. In terms of has it passed?
>> No. >> No. >> So, what's failed here?
I think the frame failed a little bit. The brackets in the frame have failed a little bit. The door itself.
Yeah, it's pretty much bushed the door quite badly. I think the door itself needs bettering and the frame needs bettering. >> Okay.
>> So, I've got some direction. I know what to do next. >> I'm going to leave that with you, Al.
>> Okay. Give me two weeks. Come back again and we'll show you what the next version is.
All right. Okay. That was uh that was interesting.
I think uh I think Alex has underestimated me and the door is not quite up to scratch. I mean 37 seconds. I mean fair enough.
I am the world's strongest man. I've got I am super big. You know I'm 6' 3.
I'm 165 kilo. There are not many human beings my size and strength on the planet. So the fact that someone my size with a sledgehammer coming through your front door is very very very slim.
But still, take take me out the equation. Normal human being. I think they're still getting through that door with a sledgehammer in a minute and a half.
So, it's not good enough. There's a lot of work to be done there. But hopefully Alex can go away, do some adjustments, add a bit of bulk, bulk it up a bit, make it a bit stronger, and I'll be back in a couple weeks to uh give it a test.
See you in two weeks. >> [music] >> What? Oh, here we go.
I am back, but the victim is still there hanging in little bits. And it looks like the new door is right there. We'll wait for Alex to turn up and we'll uh talk about what little differences he's made and what improvements he's made.
>> Hey, big dog. >> You all right, pal? >> Yeah, good.
Thank you. All good. >> Good, man.
Tell me about the improvements. >> Right, we have a 60 mil door leaf this time. So, we have a thicker door leaf.
>> So, what was it before? >> 40 mil. >> So, from 40 mil to So, it's a thicker door.
60 mil. >> Nearly 50% thicker. >> We've got thicker steel.
>> Okay. >> We have a thicker frame. >> We have more reinforcements in the frame.
>> Yes. We have an extra hinge. >> We have a bigger locking system.
We've thrown the kitchen sink at this. >> So, you just upgraded everything. >> I wouldn't know what to do after this door, to be honest.
We've thrown everything at [laughter] it. >> Right now, 37 seconds to beat. >> 37 seconds.
>> Okay. On you. >> 3 2 1 go.
Heat. Heat. Fire.
Heat. time. >> Are you me?
>> Wow. [sighs] >> Fair play, Al. >> That's done a good job, hasn't it?
Yeah, >> I'm very impressed. >> That's beat me. >> Oh my god, my lungs.
I I seriously didn't think those little things you did were going to make any difference. >> They all contribute. The steel thickness, the thickness of the door, >> the multi-point locking system, the extra hinge, it all contributes to a much, much stronger door.
>> Fair play. I think if you gave me another 3 minutes, I don't think I'd get through that. It's beast proof, that's for sure.
>> I mean, if we take a closer look, it really hasn't moved, has it? >> No. >> Everything's solid.
Back of the door's solid. Everything's just still intact. >> Yeah.
>> It's held really well. As I say, that foam, even though it's come away here, >> Mhm. >> it's held together there.
>> Yeah. It's bonded really nicely around the edges. >> The only thing I is is the door I want is I want a nice piece of glass down the middle.
And this uh it popped out. >> Don't worry about that, Eddie. >> No.
So, we focused on the door and the frame construction at this stage to make sure that was going to be strong enough. We've got a fix for that. That's no problem.
>> Okay. Sound. I mean, like your previous doors didn't do it.
So, you use the same technology in that. >> Exactly. >> Okay.
>> Yeah. >> Fair enough. Right.
Let's go and design me a front door. >> So, your design, Eddie, you wanted a long thin vision down the middle. >> Yes.
Long thin. So, sort of like a cottagey dory. So, we'll have lines in it.
>> Nice vertical window down the middle. >> What color does it? >> Uh, amphasite gray.
>> Amphite gray. >> Ampite gray. >> Ah, this is where it gets exciting.
Okay. Handles. >> There you have all your handle options just here.
>> And we can go polished or brushed. >> So, I'll pit my door. And then these guys started to get all geeky.
So, my mind started to wander off. I've got an idea. Um, not sure.
It's always better time. Nice. Crapper smashed my face on the front of the binoculars.
Okay. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah, that was great.
That look good. >> Amazing. >> How good was that?
>> Well, hey, >> we weren't expecting you to smash that, >> mate. I love that. That was great.
>> I bought my tank all this way. I better use it for something. >> Yeah.
>> You know what I mean? Oh, right. Well, leave these to clean this up.
>> Yeah. >> [laughter] [laughter] >> There's no way. We destroyed that wall and that door has only got >> the door >> track prints on it.
>> Congratulations. Look at that. >> Look at that.
>> No. >> You can see where the uh the turrets hit it. Wow.
>> So, the wall gave way before the door basically. >> I'm not sure we can declare it tank proof, but it's still quite impressive, isn't it? >> It is.
That I'm even more impressive. It's like I mean, it's had a 20 ton tank on it and it's barely made a dent. Deeply impressed.
Right, let's get over. Well, there we have it, guys. The front door has been fitted as we speak.
And I've got to give it to Labens. They've done an absolutely amazing job of doing everything that I asked. Not only have they made a door beast proof and probably tank proof, they made a door that looks absolutely beautiful.
And that's the direction I gave them. Create me a door that is going to let me sleep better at night knowing my family is protected, but also looks nice. And they've done I mean, just look at that.
That is absolutely beautiful. That along with the shutters. It's just almost like a big up yours to any bad guys in this world that want to get in and do any bad things.
So, uh, Levens, thank you very much. You've done an amazing job. And anyone out there looking to get a front door that looks amazing and is going to have the bulk and protection to keep people like me out with a sledgehammer, head over to lamsteel.
co. uk and grab yourself a beautiful front door that you are going to be able to sleep better at night knowing no one can get through it. Thanks for watching guys.
Don't forget to check out the other videos. Don't forget to like this one. Comment on it.
Let me know what you want to do next time. And I will see you soon. Big love the beast.
Take care.
