左 = 咗 is in common usage among Cantonese speakers for informal use in e.g. IM messages

I've seen it done myself, and it's mentioned here:
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-unique-Cantonese-characters

>>Or, they might neglect the Cantonese character’s radical so that they can use a much more common character - 左 for 咗, for instance

Editor: There are quite a few informal variants of Cantonese characters, but we aren't even planning to document the official characters of Cantonese, let alone the informal ones.

Editor: You misparsed 小心地滑. It's (小心)(地)(滑), not (小心)(地滑), and (地)(滑) means "the ground is slippery".

<quote>
"地" is the subject and "滑" is the predicate. Therefore, we get "the floor is slippery ".

Usually we don‘t just say “地滑”, for it doesn’t sound so coherent. You should insert an adverb, i.e. ”地很滑” ,”地非常滑”.

Or you can use “地滑” in “小心地滑“.

大龄青年还能敲开美国留学大门吗?
Can older singletons still knock on the door of studying in the US?

Numerous other examples in google news.
Google translate renders it as "knock on".
------------------------

Editor:
0) Don't trust Google Translate.

1) How do you account for the 2nd character (開)?
You can knock on a door and there may be nobody home, so the door remains shut.
That would presumably not be 敲開.

2) 敲门 means "to knock on a door".
e.g.
- 他刚醒来就听见有人敲门。
- 我敲了一下药店的门,门很快就开了。
So how is 敲开门 different from 敲门.
Surely the character 开 has something to do with it.
敲开门 can't mean just "knock on the door" in the following sentences.
The person clearly gained entrance as a result of "doing 敲开门".
- 敲开门的瞬间,一个未知的酒店世界向你敞开.
- 他敲開門后發現男被告躲藏在內,

3) This example is on jukuu:
微笑能敲开大门,推倒壁垒。
Smiles *open* doors; they don't just *knock* on them.
"A smile can open doors and tear down walls."

4) More examples:

Part I - "to get sth open by tapping on it"
---------------------------------------------------
「從有記憶以來,我的生活就和廚藝分不開,」陳兆麟記得小學時,兄弟們經常拿著小鐵鎚,幫忙父親將乾硬的乾貝敲開,
"As far back as I can remember, my life has always been involved in cooking," says Chen. He recalls that when he was in elementary school, he and his brothers often used little hammers to crack open dried scallops;

他找到一颗鸡蛋,就把它敲开。
He found an egg and broke it open.

以攝氏65度溫水煮蛋,再敲開三分之一的蛋殼,
First he coddles eggs in 65°C water, and then he removes one-third of the shell.


Part 2 - "to gain access to sth"
----------------------------------------
台灣努力了十一年終於敲開世貿組織的大門
Taiwan finally succeeded in joining the WTO, a goal it had been pursuing for 11 years

接著《喜宴》為台灣拿下第一座柏林影展金熊獎,也為李安敲開了好萊塢的大門。
His next movie, The Wedding Banquet, earned Taiwan’s first Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and opened doors in Hollywood.

透過《笛韻》詩刊的編輯,向陽敲開了現代詩的門扉;
Serving as the editor of the society's poetry journal, Xiang Yang pushed open a door to modern poetry.

蔡志忠決定用筆繪出自己的人生色彩,看似順遂,事實上,初二就輟學的他,一路上不斷搬移阻擋前途的大石頭,主動敲開機會大門。
It may seem as if Tsai drew for himself a picture-perfect career path. But the fact is, as someone who dropped out of school after eighth grade, he constantly had to overcome obstacles and had to be very aggressive in seeking opportunities.

「我是個愛投敲門磚的人,一投不中,必會再投、三投,直到把門敲開為止。」更重要的是,他的自信心並不會因為「敲不開門」而折損。
"I am a person who likes to knock on doors," Tsai says. "I try again and again until the doors open." More importantly, his confidence isn't hurt when he "doesn't succeed in opening a door."

其實,不只水果,台灣的烏龍茶、蝴蝶蘭、良質蓬萊米、生鮮蔬菜等,近幾年已一一敲開國際市場,
In fact, it's not only fruit. Taiwan oolong tea, butterfly orchids, high-quality Penglai rice and fresh vegetables have each opened up an international market in recent years.

相較於水果,由於蔬菜保鮮期更短,要敲開國外市場,挑戰重重。
Because vegetables have a shorter shelf life than fruits, breaking into the export market presents numerous challenges.

為華語電影敲開奧斯卡大門,
It was a huge breakthrough for a Chinese-language film,

《末代皇帝》敲開中西合拍大門
The Last Emperor and 30 Years of Co-Productions

在中國人的世界中,簡單的銅鑼聲有著神秘的力量,可為道士或乩童敲開陰陽界。
In the Chinese world, the simple sounds produced by drums and gongs have a mysterious power. Daoist priests and spirit mediums use them to open the doors to the netherworld.

當年鄧麗君以甜美歌聲敲開鐵幕,
Back then, Teresa Teng's sweet songs broke through the Bamboo Curtain;

慎選合作對象,攸關著能否敲開印尼的市場大門。
Businesses have to be careful when choosing their local partners, and be certain that those they choose can provide them with better access to the Indonesian market.

豈知,社工員這一問,彷彿敲開了老先生沉睡的記憶,他漾出一抹微笑,冷不防地說:「棒球!」

德才兼備方可作棟樑
Having integrity and talent can only be used for pillars

Numerous other examples online.

Editor: we already have an entry for 栋梁. 樑 is a variant of 梁 and is already included in the dictionary, so there is no need to add an entry for 栋樑 when the variant is already listed at the character level. Moreover, 栋梁 is far more common than the variant compound you submitted.

# 棟樑 栋樑 [dong4 liang2] /pillar (often figurative, eg of community), tent pole/
