Give the emergency cable a real hard yank. Wear gloves.


Note that he hears the actuator, so there is some pretension. (Something falling into the lock could do it)
I would avoid a hard yank and look to relieve that tension...failing that, I could see myself going the hard yank route through impatience. [emoji849]
