What do you mean 'unlock' ?

The story plainly tells you that the whole door is designed in such a way that the door wont go anywhere unless the pressure on both sides is equalized.

You can unlock the door by turning the handle. You won't be able to get it open, but it's unlocked. So when the pressure stabilizes, the door can easily be opened.
