my smoke detector is chirping?

So I twisted the lid off and found that the battery is inside a pull lever lid that I am supposed to push to have the thing pop open or something and I pushed and pushed and now afraid to push any more and break the level. Is there some sort of secret that only the Masons know or something. On youtube

most have simple side things you pull and presto it opens you replace the battery. my lid won't open.

The instructions says push the pull up level to open to replace battery.

    Sometimes the plastic housing is a little stiff. One has to exert a little force to get them open. Be persistent, and you will get it open to replace the battery.
