walk in/step in/enter
walk in/step in/enter , just like that without knocking the door. usually Arabs keep their door (main gate) open for any visitor as as symbol of generosity.
So the main thing in this word "طبّ على" is to enter the house without knocking the door.
For another context like police force enters the house to arrest someone, it is still without knocking the door and that one we could use strike , surprise , hit and so on.
