In the legal sense, you don't need to literally break something for it to be breaking in entering.

From the legal-dictionary [1]:

breaking and entering v., n. entering a residence or other enclosed property through the slightest amount of force (even pushing open a door), without authorization. If there is intent to commit a crime, this is burglary. If there is no such intent, the breaking and entering alone is probably at least illegal trespass, which is a misdemeanor crime.

Ah, sorry. Insurance underwriter takes a different view than criminal law, I guess.
