Narrative:

I was the first officer and pilot flying. The flight was operating as a ferry flight under far part 91 and did not have flight attendants or any other personnel aboard the aircraft. Our flight operated uneventfully until our landing roll out. We made a smooth landing and normal deceleration using flaps 30 and auto brakes 2 in visual conditions. On roll out we heard a loud bang/crashing sound from the cockpit door. As the pilot flying I maintained focus on the control of the aircraft as we decelerated. As the aircraft further decelerated we both noticed an electrical odor and observed that the cockpit door had substantial damage and was knocked off its hinges. We also observed debris from the door and door area materials strewn about the cockpit. From the sound of the collision and visual damage; we suspected that a galley cart had come loose and slammed into the cockpit door. To verify the extent of the damage and more importantly to investigate the source of the electrical odor and ensure that we did not have any fire issues; the captain asked me to investigate the damage. I exited my seat to verify the absence of smoke and/or fire. I quickly returned to my seat and accomplished the after landing checklist; while the captain exited the runway and taxied to the ramp area. After parking the aircraft in the ramp area we accomplished the shutdown checklist. While at the ramp with the aircraft parked and chocked I further investigated the door while the captain telephoned the dispatch office and chief pilot to inform them of the situation. Upon further investigation we realized that due to the damage the door was jammed and we were; in effect; trapped in the cockpit. We requested the help of our on site mechanic to aid in our exit. Ultimately; we removed and exited through the cockpit door blow out panels. The captain made the appropriate logbook entries and closed the logbook page. Following consultation with the chief pilot we proceeded to the hotel.
