"Llamar" would be an OK verb to in this case, I'd say it's the ideal way, but it's not commonly used colloquialy. Usually as bob saunders said, "tocar fuerte" is used it's correct, formal and nice.

La puerta esta cerrada, pero no tiene candado. Favor de tocar duro y alguien llegará. Gracias.

Just say: Favor tocar duro.
