It eventually becomes obvious that the door had been held shut by big

the window. Also why they don't have an electric saw to cut through
wood.

Maybe because that could cause serious injury if someone was pushing
against the inside of the door. Otherwise they could just use a
carbide-tipped chainsaw.
