A locking mechanism (10) for locking a part (16) of a vehicle has (10) a mounting frame (22) with there being a slider (30) mounted on the mounting frame (22) and being able to move along its longitudinal axis relative to the mounting frame (22). The slider (30) is securely attached to the part (16) of the vehicle and has two openings (44, 46) therein to releasably receive locking bolts (52). The locking bolts (52) are mounted on the mounting frame (22) for reciprocal movement transverse to the slider (30) and are biased by a spring (60) to engage the openings (44, 46). A drive system to withdraw the locking bolts (52) from engagement with the slider (30) when the part (16) of the vehicle is required to be unlocked is also provided.
