ABSTRACT:
A locking device for a hatch cover is attached to a hinged carrier bar and has a flexible lock strip pivotally attached to the upper surface thereof and movable in a horizontal plane between a locked position underlying an associated roof top mounted latch member and an unlocked position rotated away from the latch member. The locking strip includes a handle which allows it to move in cantilever fashion whereby a locking finger on the flexible strip is lifted and removed from an associated locking opening allowing the strip to be rotated away from the latch to unlock the hatch cover.
