Hello Lile & PIC.ers,

What about a length of string for that matter?
Pull it, delatches the spring-loaded door,
OR it is taut continuously, until tripping is required..

then the bird-watcher pulls the lanyard to blow the whistle
on the boiler to wake up the midget captain to strike the match to light
the candle to burn the string..
