hi,

What do you understand by the word batter in the following sentence?

The carpenter could not batter that door.

Thank you in advance,

I think he can't do anything to the door ( for reparing or something like this )

sorry, I have just realized that I made a mistake. Instead of batter is better.

Better as a verb.

He could not improve on it in any way.
