Why Departments Need the UNHINGED Modular Wall Training System

For decades, departments across the country have relied on wooden props for training. While wood has always been the “go-to” option, it comes with significant challenges:
• Wood rots, molds, and deteriorates quickly, meaning props often have to be rebuilt or replaced on an annual basis.
• High costs add up year after year, straining already tight budgets.
• Heavy and immovable structures limit how and where training can take place. Once a wood prop is built, it usually stays in place—reducing training versatility.
At UNHINGED, we recognized this problem and set out to create a better way.

The UNHINGED Solution
Our modular wall training system was built from the ground up to meet the needs of modern training:
1. Durability That Lasts
Made with rugged, lightweight composite materials—not wood—our system is resistant to rot, mold, and weather damage. That means no more costly rebuilds every year. Once you invest in UNHINGED, your training system is built to last.
2. Lightweight & Reconfigurable
Unlike heavy wood props, UNHINGED walls are designed to be easily moved, set up, and reconfigured by a small crew. This allows departments to quickly transform spaces into different layouts, keeping training fresh and realistic without the hassle of permanent builds.
3. Cost-Effective in the Long Run
By eliminating the need for constant replacement and offering a modular design that adapts to multiple scenarios, UNHINGED saves departments both time and money—funds that can be redirected into other critical needs.
4. Realistic, Scenario-Based Training
From search-and-rescue drills and hoseline advancement/flows, to force on force and CQB our system gives military personnel and first responders realistic environments that can change as often as the situation demands. No two trainings have to be the same.

Why Departments Need UNHINGED
Firefighting and Law Enforcement is evolving, and so should training. Departments can’t afford to waste time and resources on outdated props that fall apart after a handful of training sessions. The UNHINGED Modular Wall System provides:
• A durable alternative to wood that withstands years of use.
• The flexibility to reconfigure training environments in minutes.
• A cost-saving solution that reduces long-term training expenses.
• The ability to enhance preparedness with realistic, ever-changing training scenarios.
At the end of the day, training saves lives. With UNHINGED, departments finally have a tool built as tough and adaptable as the responders who use it.
