Unlatching the gate she flung it open in defiance. "No!" She seemed like a person obsessed. Symes arose and walked quickly after her.
I went to the window; I drew up the blind, unlatching the sash, I threw it open; and clad, or, rather, unclad as I was, I clambered through it into the open air.

Unlatching the lower door, Lanyard threw it back, stepped out, finding the lobby deserted but for a simpering group of coat-room girls, to one of whom he flipped a silver dollar. "Find this lady's wraps be quick!"
