1. A lock mechanism for a compartment comprising:
a deformable arm affixed to a housing of the compartment and positioned within the compartment, the deformable arm comprising:
a first end configured to be biased into a first position to engage a latch of a door of the compartment to prevent the latch from opening, the first end further comprising:
a first projection configured to engage a first barb formed in the latch; and
a second projection configured to engage a second barbed formed in the latch, the first projection being offset from the second projection to enable a deformable member in the latch to be positioned between the first projection and the second projection; and
a receiving surface configured to receive an external force to move the deformable arm to a second position that disengages the first end from the latch to enable opening of the latch while the external force is applied to the receiving surface.
