Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention pertains to a locking mechanism pedestal assembly and, more particularly, for a support member. BACKGROUND Pavers, tiles, or other floor panels, referred to hereinafter simply as pavers, are used in a variety of architectural and landscape settings. Sometimes pavers are installed in gardens, patios, walkways, driveways, or on the roofs of buildings. Some types of pavers are made from heavy materials and have physically large dimensions, making them resistant to movement after installation. Such is the case, when pavers are used for landscaping, sidewalks, patios and driveways. In other applications, pavers have less weight, limiting the load on the surface over which they are installed. In some cases, access to an object that is underneath the installed paver is required. In this type of installation, the paver may be elevated from an installed surface and have access channels or pathways underneath. In installations, such as this, the paver maybe lightweight and form an elevated walkway. In the case of an elevated installation, the pavers may become airborne and dislodged in a high wind condition. What is needed is a paver supporting apparatus that provides reduced surface load, ease of access to under paver objects, while preventing pavers from becoming dislodged from an elevated installed surface in a high wind condition. SUMMARY A locking mechanism pedestal assembly includes a support mechanism. The locking mechanism pedestal assembly further includes a locking mechanism positioned within the support mechanism. The locking mechanism pedestal assembly includes an insert assembly positioned through the support mechanism and the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism pedestal assembly includes a pedestal, the support mechanism and the locking mechanism abut against a top of the pedestal.
