To open from outside with the child lock on practice with the new one exactly where to poke the cable with a long skinny flat blade screw driver, you can possibly fashion a hook from thin wire to pull but I had better luck with pushing and screwdriver.

I shut my door with my only key inside. Four hours for a lock smith meaning leave my car with my key in the ignition in Chicago overnight or figure out how to get in.

I had the replacement DHC miraculously with me and not in the car so I figured out where to poke to open the door.

A strong sideways push on the cable worked to open the door. Once I knew where to poke it was less than 2 seconds to open.
