Put a little pressure forward with the TV and it will release and stay open.
I do the same.
I have a padlock for my handle, I leave it set on top of my bed height tool box as a VISUAL reminder I need to latch handle after backing into kingpin. I don't push my bed step in until the process is completed, another VISUAL.
Honestly I never knew that the extra hole was intended for locking the handle open until I saw a guy drop his B&W by pinning his open. His previous hitch ya backed in and it slammed shut.
He had a 2nd gen RAM DRW with aluminum bed rail caps, they sustained no damage.
For me I love the informative Vids on YouTube like the one i watched that gave great info on how to replace my HD's Compensator. All the little tricks from someone experienced saves a lot of trouble.
