door ram

Forcible entry tool

A door ram is a heavy metal cylinder used by police and emergency personnel to force open locked doors.

Typically held by handles on the sides, it's swung to deliver concentrated impact to the area near the lock or hinges: Officers breached the apartment with a door ram.

Also called a battering ram or, by the brand name, an Enforcer.
