A manually-operable lock for releasably securing a canopy in closed condition is characterized by (1) a pair of dogs mounted in fore-and-aft alignment on the wall of the cockpit of an aircraft; (2) a pair of dog receivers mounted on the canopy in juxtaposition with the dogs when the canopy is in its closed condition; (3) a dog-actuating arm including internal and external arm components, respectively, supported for oscillation about a common axis and pivotally connected to the dogs through a pitman rod for pivotally displacing the dog; (4) a spring-loaded pin mounted on the arm and adapted to be ramp-cammed and positioned in coaxial alignment with a receiving bore, when the arm is at the limit of its forward throw; and (5) pin-release means including external and internal components, respectively, for releasing the arm for pivotal displacement.
