Claim 16:
17. A method for providing a step pedal on a wall, the method comprising:
extending a foot pedal outwardly away from a stowed position within a cutout in the wall via extending, via pulling a grip in an insert in the wall out of the insert, a shaft away from the insert in the wall via contacting a collar on the shaft with a collar on an end of linkage bars inside the insert, the shaft being associated with the foot pedal and connected, via the collar on the end of the linkage bars translating along the shaft, the linkage bars being connected, at an end of the linkage bars opposite the end of the linkage bars connected to the collar, to a side of the grip opposite a trim surface of the grip, such that a step surface of the foot pedal remains in a vertical orientation in the stowed position;
rotating the foot pedal from the vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation;
restricting a rotation of the foot pedal from the horizontal orientation using a locking mechanism comprising a number of notches in a face of the wall; and
locking the foot pedal against the rotation via inserting the foot pedal into notches in the face of the wall.
