Systems, apparatuses, and methods of releasing doors that are locked in a closed position. The apparatus may include a follower assembly movably attached to a locking member that moves between a secured position and an unsecured position. The follower assembly may include a first locking element. The apparatus may additionally include a second locking element configured to move between a locking position in which the second locking element engages the first locking element, and an unlocking position in which the second locking element is spaced from the first locking element. The apparatus may further include a support assembly configured to move between a proximal position in which the support assembly supports the second locking element in the locking position, and a distal position in which the support assembly allows the second locking element to move from the locking position to the unlocking position.
