A tie down clamp comprises two U-shaped pieces interconnected via roll pins or similar mechanisms, wherein a cam arm is pivotally mounted on an axle between the two U-Shaped pieces. A double torsion spring wraps around the axle with the “hook” of the spring pressing against the cam arm when engaged. The cam arm includes a bore sized to accommodate a hook as may be found on a load securing mechanism. The bore may be beveled on each side to prevent “sharp edges” from being formed by the load securing mechanism. The bore is close to the pivot point of the cam arm. The cam arm includes a protrusion at the bottom so that the point of contact with the trailer angle iron, when the cam arm is engaged, is toward the end of the cam arm and offset from the vertical plane that runs through the axle roll pin.
