Eric tests the door, finding it locked, though from the rattle of it, it does seem rather loose.  He could probably break it down if need be, but he was hesitant to do so.  However, he had no means to unlock the door, and he didn't see anything readily usable for a lock pick.  He had a feeling it was going to be one of those days.  Grabbing a tight hold of the door know, so he might limit the amount of noise, he gave the door a good solid shoulder ram.
