Ggg388lx Gas Double Oven Range Door Stuck Open With The Lock On

I tried to clean my top oven and it locked fine. I didn't have the bottom door closed and didn't realize that it would lock for cleaning. Now it's stuck in locked mode with the door open. I've cancelled the top oven cleaning because I didn't want fumes coming out of the bottom oven but the bottom door never unlocked (still open). How do I unlock the bottom lock so that I can close the door?

Go here for a disassembly video (not model specific). Remove the lower oven door & remove the screws that hold the lock in place. Go here for the manual release of the door process.
