Police with an arrest warrant can enter the home of the person named in the warrant if they have reasonable grounds to believe he is on the premises. They can search the premises in any place the accused person would be able to hide (they couldn't for example, look in the drawers of a nightstand, because no one could hide there).

When can police kick in your door?

If the Police have a warrant to search your property, they have the right to forcibly enter your house if admittance is not granted. The same goes if they have an arrest warrant for you and you refuse to come out. They may also have that right if there is a crime in progress. If there is a high speed chase after subjects who the police witnessed committing crimes and the suspects enter someone's house, the police have the right to enter. Or if someone is holding you hostage in your home, the police can forcibly enter. They may also have that right if they have probable cause to believe you are in immediate danger or deceased.
