Have you had someone pull on it while you pull the release? It could just be sticky and need grease. Also, one of mine is REALLY tough, and I have no idea why even though I've lubed the cable and latch. Probably misalignment- when you do get it open you should observe it as it engages the latch, and see if it needs to move to one side or the other.
You can release it through the grille with a long screwdriver. The latch finger is accessible from underneath. Be careful not to break the plastic grille. Leave the grille out when trying to readjust the latch- it makes releasing it much easier.
