It is one object of the present invention to eliminate a noise produced between a hook and a pawl in a locked condition of a locking mechanism. The present invention has the following structure. That is, a locking device includes a locking mechanism (20) and a striker (50). The locking mechanism (20) includes a lock base (22), a hook (30) and a pawl (40). The lock base has a recess (23) that is capable of receiving the striker. The hook is capable of forming a locked condition in which the striker is held between the hook and the recess of the lock base or an unlocked condition in which the hook is spaced away from the striker. The pawl is capable of rotating to a position in which the pawl can engage an engagement surface (32) of the hook and maintaining the hook in the locked condition. The engagement surface (32) of the hook is provided with a resin coating (34) that constitutes an elastically reactive portion (35). The elastically reactive portion (35) is shaped to produce an elastically reactive force between the engagement surface (32) of the hook and the pawl (40) in the locked condition. |
