that could be a possibility, but Gandalf then says that the door began to open, and he had to speak a word of command, to proved to great a strain and the door burst into pieces. His language implies that it does not happen out of physical force of the balrog, but rather a force of power simular to his own. If the balrog is casting a spell, it has to be with his mind. (if thats possible?)
