1. A locking mechanism (1) for securing a door (3) to a body (2), the door (3) coupled to the body (2) and configured be opened or closed to provide access into the body (2), comprising:
at least one lever (4) mounted on the door (3), which is rotated on the door (3) to enable the door (3) to be opened or closed;
a first disc (5) located on the door (3) rotatably around the center of the first disc (5) where the first disc (5) is attached to the door (3), and triggered by a user moving the lever (4);
a shaft (6) located on the door (3) in contact with the first disc (5) and moving along the direction in which the shaft (6) extends when the first disc (5) is triggered;
a slot (7) located on the body (2) in the direction that the shaft (6) extends, and into which the shaft (6) is inserted in a removable way, wherein the locking mechanism has an open position (I) in which the shaft (6) is located far from the slot (7) and the door (3) can be opened by the user, and a lock position (II) that limits the movement of the door (3) in which the shaft (6) is almost completely contained in the slot (7);
a second disc (8) located on the body (2), triggered by the lever (4), and moving simultaneously with the first disc (5);
a holder (9) which is triggered by the second disc (8) and thus moves in the direction the holder (9) extends;
at least one pin (10) located in the holder (9), which is inserted in the slot (7) so as to allow the door (3) to be brought to the lock position (II), and which is triggered by the movement of the shaft (6) so as to be inserted in the slot (7);
wherein the pin (10) is inserted in the slot (7) in contact with the wall of the slot (7) when switching from the open position (I) to the lock position (II);
wherein the second disc (8) has an eccentric form, which triggers the holder (9) with rotation around itself, thus allowing the holder (9) to move in the direction in which the holder (9) extends, thus allowing the pin (10) to be inserted into the slot (7).
