Very unpleasant experience !

Hi,
During one of the hottest days in august, just after shut down, I got stuck for almost 2h in my pressurized FT337G (build in France by Reims Aviation in 1974), because the upper clam shell door's front security lock cable broke when I pulled it !
To who it could happen, I recommend having a cruciform screw-driver (with T shape hand grip if possible) to remove the leather trim and a flat plier to unscrew the bottom part of the sleeve in which the cable slides, and finally to pull the cable (some nice people passed me those tools through the window !).

Isn't there a way to unlock the upper clam shell door from outside the aircraft ?
