I took a metal clothes hanger (remember those?!) and straightened it
out.  I bent the end into a hook to catch the door lock knob.  I
inserted the hook end thru the gasket at the vent wing near the top,
pushed the wire in until I got it hooked around the stem of the door
lock, and pulled it up.  No problem and minimal damage.
