How do you obtain the red-handled Halon extinguisher?

Explanation:
Accessing a red-handled Halon extinguisher means removing it from its bracket. The extinguisher is secured in a bracket to prevent accidental discharge, so the first step to actually use it is to lift it out of that holder and bring it into your hand, giving you access to the handle and pin to operate it. Prying with a screwdriver can damage the bracket or the extinguisher and could cause unpredictable discharge or injury. Breaking the seal is reserved for when you are ready to operate the extinguisher, not just to obtain it. The door control has no role in accessing the extinguisher. So removing it from its bracket is the correct first action.
