Claim 0:
1. A door assembly for an agricultural vehicle, the door assembly comprising:
a mounting plate comprising a door opening and an actuator opening;
a door rotatably coupled to the mounting plate and movable between a covering position where the door covers the door opening and an open position where the door opening is uncovered; and
a locking assembly associated with the door, the locking assembly comprising:
an actuator that defines an actuator axis, the actuator being linearly movable in the actuator opening between a first position and a second position and rotatable about the actuator axis between a first locking orientation and a second locking orientation, the actuator comprising a first locking feature and a second locking feature;
a biaser associated with the actuator and configured to bias the actuator toward the first position;
an energizer associated with the actuator and configured to bias the actuator toward the first locking orientation when the actuator is in the second locking orientation; and
a lock configured to engage the first locking feature when the actuator is in the first locking orientation and engage the second locking feature when the actuator is in the second locking orientation, wherein linear movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position while the actuator is in the second locking orientation causes the lock to disengage from the second locking feature so the energizer rotates the actuator towards the first locking orientation.
