A stair closure mechanism is disclosed. In embodiments, the stair closure mechanism is attached to and deploys in concert with a door separating an overhead crew rest compartment and access stairway from the main cabin. As the door is closed, a closure panel mechanically pivots with the closing of the door into a horizontal deployed position. When in the deployed position, the closure panel conforms to the floor of the overhead compartment, securely blocking the free space between the stairway and the floor from persons in the overhead compartment who might otherwise step or stumble thereinto.
