Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

How do you close hatch when survivor is on it?

Multiple killer games have come down to both me and the last survivor both knowing where the hatch is and standing near it as the 3rd survivor died.

In this scenario, how do I close the hatch before the survivor can escape? I've heard that there was a hatch grab mechanic previously, but it was removed? Is this always a free escape for the survivor, or is there a way to shut the hatch and/or stop them from jumping into it?
