i don't think gathering the weapons had anything to do with opening the door, he only did it to help himself, and stop the other side gaining them, after all there pretty powerful. His goal may have been to free Micheal and Lucifer, but they weren't going anywhere so he didn't need to hurry to do it.

Were as the rebelion was a problem that was happening now, plus there was also the very real risk of them intefearing with his plans, maybe waiting till he opened the door and pushing him in, and slamming the door or something like that.

His goal was to free them, but before he could do that, he had to mop up the rebbellion. That is why he wanted the weapons.
