I'd try to dig out the emergency release cable and see if that still works.
Exactly. A Cable operated system. Now they're both "locked". Zero give. I'll try the cable route you suggest.

However... who can explain why both would lock at the same time AND after an otherwise incidental coolant dump?

Thank you.
