SDR Cage w/ opening doors issue

I just picked up my new to me 2011 XP900 and it has an awesome SDR motorsports cage with opening doors. I seem to be having an issue with the doors opening.

I can’t seem to open the door easily when I’m inside. It takes a lot of shoulder, and my body weight to get it to open. anyone ever experience this ? or have any suggestions for me? This doesn’t seem very safe if you had an emergency and had to get out quick.
