Door-bashing device (9,3)

I believe the answer is:

battering ram

(Other definitions for battering ram that I've seen before include "Weapon to force entry" , "Door-forcing pole" , "ensures successful entre?" , "Large beam for breaking into fortresses" , "Means of breaking down walls etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
