That, or a good hard kick on an especially flimsy door. The reason breaching shotguns exist at all is that a battering ram requires at least two people to operate, and the shotgun can be used to shoot bad guys too.
The old standby "entry tool" (a small battering ram) is a better choice in most situations. Even then, they don't aim their weapons at the lock they aim at the surrounding door or the hinges. Only SWAT teams and soldiers ever do this in real life, and it involves a shotgun, Kevlar body armor, specialized ammunition (a powdered metal breaching round, often jokingly referred to as "Avon Calling"), and full face protection. Lesser firearms, especially handguns may harmlessly bury rounds in even standard padlocks to little effect. Unfortunately, in real life - as shown by the MythBusters - this requires a high powered gun at close range, which causes lots of very dangerous shrapnel. One or two shots is generally enough to destroy the lock, allowing the door to open. In movies and television, a locked door, or a padlock on a cage is never an impediment so long as the Hero has bullets to spare.
