It depends on why he is entering. Was he called to the residence? Is he or she doing a 'welfare check'? What type of call history has there been at that residence? If the police officer has an arrest warrant, and knows the person named in the warrant is in the residence, then in the state of NC, the answer is yes.
Can a cop just open your door?
As is often the case with analyzing the legality of an action taken by a cop, whether the cop can "just open your door" depends on the specific circumstances. For example, a cop can open your door when the cop has observed a felony in progress by seeing it through a window. Or when the cop is in hot pursuit of someone the cop has observed entering the dwelling. Otherwise, the general rule is that the cop must have a warrant before entering a dwelling without permission, and even with a warrant the cop usually must knock first and request admission (although not if the cop has a "no knock" warrant).
