According to the EVA Catalog Tools and Equipment, there are several manual
tools for dealing with failures of the cargo bay doors to open, close, or
latch. 

Examples:

1/4-inch allen wrench extension for 3/8-inch drive
   This is used to disconnect the radiator deployment mechanism in the
   event it fails.  

Centerline latch bypass tool
   This is used to bypass a failed cargo bay door centerline latch.
   An astronaut enters the cargo bay and puts a couple of clamps across the
   joint in the doors.
