<upd_detl>Interesting. Was juxtaposed with 心を開く (which I just edited as well), same meaning, mixing up vocab.

Same stubborn old woman, after trying to win her over:
このばあさん、全然心開かねえぞ。　1. "This old woman isn't opening her heart at all" 2."This old woman just refuses to open up"
1: If Himmel or Heiter were here, ... "半一くらいで打ち解けているはずなのに" "she would have opened up in half a day".
2: "Sorry, Himmel or Heiter could have gotten her to open up in half a day."

 
"to throw off reserve" appears to be quite well dated.  First non-dictionary result on google was a text from the mid-1800s.

1 result on all of reddit is a false-positive. no news results, no twitter results.

"frank" seems to be pointed at a no-longer-common connotation of the word.  I can be frank with someone who I don't like at all, and am totally uncomfortable being around(frank = direct-and-to-the-point. "let me be frank"). The weblio ref puts "frank" next to "open" (which I've added) and "candid" which is better, but also has connotation issues.  I think "unreserved", which hints at   打ち解けない = reserved, works better.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Was useful still in 1828, I guess
https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/declare
To declare one's self, to throw off reserve and avow one's opinion; to show openly what one thinks, or which side he espouses.
