Cockpit Doors, Pre-9/11 vs post-9/11 Options

[Vick]

Sorry for cross-posting, but I really would like to have at least some ideas about this issue... I was trying to find info on the Boeing-757 cockpit doors installed before 9/11. Anyone here can help me out? Not that I believe the official story even a bit, but I am still particularly interested in whether or not the alleged 33 passengers on flight 93 had a chance of breaking into the cockpit where the alleged hijackers locked themselves and controlled the plane. Any leads? Links? Ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

Here's some info that I recently came across regarding Boeing cockpit doors. The author has flown Boeing airliners for many years.

"So here is the deal with the cockpit door on a Boeing. The old doors (pre 911) had a button that the pilot could push to unlock the "door lock" electrically. That switch was one of the parameters recorded in the FDR (flight data recorder). All the Flight Attendant used to carry a key to the cockpit around their neck and they would normally knock quickly and then just open the cockpit door with the key. If the button was not pushed by the pilots, the FDR would not record the door opening. Obviously, the hijackers took a Flight Attendant key from her and just let themselves into the cockpit. That's why the CRV didn't record the door being opened. ... The button was not pushed. "
