The mechanical lock (10) includes a rod (30) having one end extending into a housing (14) and another end extending out of the housing. The rod translate through bores through bushings (40) within the housing. Coil springs (60, 61 ) in the housing and surround the rod. When the springs are in their normal orientation, they grip the rod tightly and prevent the rod from translating. The rod and bushings have complementary structure for preventing the rod fro m rotating within the bushings and housing. In the exemplary embodiment, the structure are flat surfaces (31) along the rod and the bushing that mate wit h each other.
