Abstract

A locking element (1) for locking a ship's door comprises a body (4) and a locking bolt (7). The body comprises at least one bolt passage (8) for therein receiving the bolt, such that the bolt is movable back and forth therein in its axial bolt direction between a locking position and an unlocking position. The bolt is provided with rod guide means (9) for therein receiving a rod (10), such that the rod is therein movable back and forth in its axial rod direction, the axial rod direction being at right angles to or otherwise crossing with respect to the axial bolt direction. The body and the bolt are configured such that the rod, if it is received in the rod guide means in the manner mentioned and when it is moved with at least a movement component in the axial bolt direction, causes the bolt to move in the axial bolt direction for changing between the locking position and unlocking position mentioned.
