Hotpoint WD860 door broken?

My hubby has tried to open the door of my Hotpoint WD860 before the door lock was off and broken it. Is there a safe way I can get the washing out? I got someone coming to fix it on Tues but all my towels are in it and I don't fancy being without them til Tues!! The door went on an old washer and we could open it with a screwdriver but I can't get at this one. Any ideas please?

Many Thanks

Nicky
