NO NO, but if they do have probable cause, they'll kick the door in. Probable cause does not always involve a piece of paper.............like a warrant. If you lock the door, after they speak to you, you can be charged with obstructing and delaying, if they had probable cause.

If the police officers have a search warrant or an arrest warrant, then you have to open the door. If they have come to ask questions or for any other reason without a warrant, you do not legally have to open the door.
