A locking mechanism 10 for a quick coupler A has a movable locking element 11. A biasing element 13 is adapted to bias the locking element 11 to move in a first direction. An operator 12 is arranged to move the locking element 11 against the bias of the biasing element 13. The locking element 11 has teeth or serrations 19 which, when the locking element 11 is moved by the biasing element 13 in the first direction, is engageable with further teeth or serrations 20 coupled to a movable wedge element F of the quick coupler A to lock the wedge element 11 against movement. The movement of the locking element 11 creates a compressive force that causes the teeth/serrations 19, 20 to positively mesh and remain meshed.
