Abstract
A status indicator for a locking mechanism may include a status indicator face, a status indicator plate, a cam coupling, and a locking mechanism coupler. The status indicator face and status indicator plate may be at least partially moveable relative to one another. The locking mechanism coupler may have a greater rotational range of motion than the cam coupling. The status indicator face may indicate the state of a locking mechanism and may have a viewing angle greater than or equal to 180 degrees.
