Issue with snug top t-lock

I have a snugtop shell with a t-lock. I pushed the handle in but did not lock it and now the shell is locked shut.

Normally I would need to use the key to lock the handle when it is in the pushed in position but this time it just locked without the key. Now when I put the key in it won’t turn.

please help!

 

That's a weird one. Depending on what year your truck is, you might be able to unlatch the tailgate and pull the tailgate down. Then you can get into the shell and hit the red release button if your shell has one.

I know this is possible on some trucks because my truck was broken into this way.
