Medical device delivery system including a catheter, handle, lock line handle, and lock line. The catheter includes a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The handle is coupled to the proximal end portion of the catheter. The lock line handle is releasably coupled to the handle and actuatable between a lock position and an unlock position. The lock line includes a first end portion fixedly coupled to the lock line handle, a second end portion releasably coupled to the lock line handle, and an intermediate portion configured to be releasably coupled to the medical implant disposed proximate the distal end portion of the catheter. Actuating the lock line handle from the lock position toward the unlock position increases tension on the lock line, and actuating the lock line handle from the unlock position toward the lock position decreases tension on the lock line.
