Therefore, they had commissioned Thomas Thiele, a master carpenter, a few years ago. The door, says Thiele, is built "classic, as we know it from the craft school". Together held with dowels, as it is common in the industry, but with pin connections. 60 to 80 hours, you need to build such a door. A very good piece of craftsmanship, but not specifically designed, such an attack can withstand.

But this is not a simple clamping plate door, this really is solid wood, it can.“ Even if the offender does not have the lock, but the thicker side of the frame, specifically, he would not come through, says Thiele, because oak is very stable. "If it was a door made of pine wood, would certainly be more happening."

He had previously been very excited, finally, whether it is for a craftsman is not everyday that you see him at work on the fingers. All of the journalists who had to watch as he and his staff would have used the door – this could make an already nervous: "now This might sound stupid, but the nights before you have installed the door in the head a couple of Times."
