FYI, picking a lock runs the risk of damaging it. You could split a pin or jam the lock, leaving it stuck in whatever position it's currently in.
I'd look at an electric lock pick for speed and ease. Not that complicated to use, but pretty loud. Good ones run ~$150. A bit larger, so easier to carry in a duty bag.
Unless you've got a coordinated tactical entry, trying to pick a lock during entry sounds like a great way to get dead. You're stuck in a fatal funnel. It could take 5 seconds to pick, or you might just give up after 10 minutes. A door kick will always take 10 seconds.
I don't know where you work, what kind of threat level you deal with, or what kind of calls you deal with.
Look up some videos of electric lock picks, they're pretty fast. But a sledge hammer is $31 on Amazon and the batteries won't die at the worst possible moment.
Whoops, I forgot to read.
Judging by this example, the head is 12 lb with dimensions 2.2" x 2.2" x 7". That's about .35 lb per cubic inch.
So if the head of the Doomhammer was made of the same material (and maybe it's not the best example to use), it would weigh about 250 lbs. Jeez! Not bad for a 1H Mace.
