A deadlock mechanism (10) that comprises a bolt (40), moveable between a deployed configuration and a retracted configuration, a deadlock member (60) coupled to the bolt (40), and an actuator means (50,70). The deadlock member (60) is moveable relative to the bolt (40) to engage surrounding structure (34) and thereby resist movement of the bolt (40) from the deployed configuration. The actuator means (50,70) is moveable between a first position in which the deadlock member (60) is free to engage the surrounding structure (34) and a second position in which the actuator means (50,70) engages and retracts the deadlock member (60) from the surrounding structure (34), thereby allowing the bolt (40) to be moved to the retracted position. Movement of the bolt (40) between the deployed and retracted configuration is rotary. |
