French term or phrase: babouin en fil d'acier bloquant la tringlerie d'ouverture
Context:
Les échappées en cas d’urgence de tous les locaux sont conservées à tous les niveaux de sûreté par une ouverture possible de l’intérieur par un loquet ou des taquets (panneaux machine) ou par *l’enlèvement du babouin en fil d’acier bloquant la tringlerie d’ouverture* des portes étanches.

I imagine that this is some kind of wire fastening of the handles for the doors but interestingly enough, I cannot find babouin used in this sense in Le Petit Robert or on the net. Anyone who just happens (!) to know what a babouin is exactly, please let me know. And I am wondering whether there is a specific expression for tringlerie d'ouverture.

Thank you for your help.

Explanation:
Well, according to GDT, a 'babouin' can be a small sling linking together several larger slings in order to be able to fit them on the hook of a crane (I'm parapharsing!)

So I would guess (only!) that this is a wire running round the multi-fixing points of a watertight door to ensure that all of them are 'sealed' in such a way that they cannot be inadvertently opened.

As for 'tringlerie...', I can visualize exactly what they mean, but I personally don't know of a specific term, I think I'd just go for 'opening mechanism'... or maybe 'linkages'?
