A locking mechanism includes a plate and a pawl. The plate includes a peripheral lip having an interior face that defines a plurality of teeth. The pawl defines a central axis and includes a plurality of pawl teeth including a first middle tooth and a second middle tooth. The first middle tooth is positioned on a first side of the central axis and has a first flat face facing the central axis and a first curved face facing away from the central axis. The second middle tooth is positioned on an opposing second side of the central axis and has a second flat face facing the central axis and a second curved face facing away from the central axis. The pawl is positionable between (i) a first position where the pawl does not engage with the plate and (ii) a second position where the pawl engages with the plate.
