A flexible tether is attached to the rigid member on one end and to a handle on the other end. The tether is nan-resilient such that same is resistant to stretching. The second end of the rigid member is grasped and manipulated to engage the first end with the lock release lever while standing at a front end of the attached trailer; then the grasping hand is slid along the tether to the handle and the handle. The handle is moved toward the rigid member to provide some slack in the tether and then jerked away from the rigid member, thereby moving the lock release lever to a released position.
