What does Gandalf do with the spike on his staff before leaving Bilbo's home?
He just uses it to write a sign on the door. It makes more sense if you continue to watch to when Thorin Oakenshield arrives and says "I would never have found this place but for the mark on the door".
In 'The Hobbit' why does Gandalf knock on the door hard?
Because the previous morning, Gandalf had "scratched a queer sign on the hobbit's beautiful green front door" as a sign so that the dwarves would know that Bilbo was the one he had chosen to go on their adventure with them. By knocking very hard on the mark with his staff, Gandalf put a dent in the wood over top of where the sign had been, erasing any evidence that it had been there. That way, Bilbo would not blame Gandalf for all of the dwarves coming to his house to take him on an adventure.
