New to me is a Hardinge HLV-H s/n 14984 lathe. Going through everything and discovered I can't open the electric access door. The locking screws were remover,the power switch off, no power to the lathe and the door will only slightly open (opens 1/2" max). The rotary power switch is plastic and has a small bar in the center which can be pulled out. There is a lever on the side of the switch that will pivot. Something like a safety device is holding this door back and I don't want to force the door open. Need some helpful advice.
