A locking mechanism comprising a linkage assembly (6) comprising:a first link (6a) and a second link (6b) joined at a pivot point (110);a linkage assembly spring (5) to bias the linkage assembly (6) into a first, locked, position;a rotational rod (1) having a cam (120) formed thereon with a cam surface in engagement with the linkage assembly in the region of the pivot point (110);a solenoid assembly (3) arranged, in a first mode, to rotate the rotational rod (1) such that the cam (120) acts as a stop against the linkage assembly (6) at the pivot point (110) in a locked position, and, in a second mode to rotate the rotational rod (1) such that the cam surface presses against the linkage assembly sufficiently (6) to overcome the linkage assembly spring (5) and to force the linkage assembly (6) into a second, unlocked position.
