Sometimes, oddly enough, ancient-built materials are tend to be sturdy, hence more durable and withstanding than the modern day contraptions, possibly due to the fact their more nature-intimacy and less machinery.

But I guess the Royals/Templars woudn't dare risk using brute force to knock the ancient door open - there's just too many variables: too high profile, might be ineffective (they can use a nuke for all I care and the door still might not budge), could trigger some unknown defence mechanisms, or could just straight out destroy the object itself along with the door (wouldn't want that).
