I actually didn't have a problem with that. It was a one-way lock to keep things from going in, not coming out. Either that or the lock was broken when the Jaeger blew.
The problem I had was that the Gipsy Danger was getting its arse handed to it throughout most of the movie, until it finally pulls out the giant sword and starts tearing Kaiju to shreds. Why was it engaging in a boxing match when it had a huge-ass sword they had seemingly forgotten about? Why not LEAD with that weapon?

That's what I figured. These are giant monster killing robots. I don't imagine that any of the budget was used to make them "safe".
