Might be wrong, but from my experience and some others' experiences, it seems the handbrake on the 200s are inconsistent and don't always grab well.

Recently I noticed if I pull quick on it it'll grab every time. So instead of pulling normally or even trying to pull it as far back, pull fast/quick and it might do the trick for you too. Thought it might be helpful for some others here or in the future.
 
Okay.

Though it's also time to do some maintenance - adjust the star wheel at the rear parking brake, brake cable, and/or lever.

The handbrake serves a safety critical function, not something you want working intermittently.
