A locking device for preventing the loosening of bolts that are subject to vibration is disclosed. The locking device is a simple to install and remove lockwire section that is placed through bolts having a plurality of holes drilled through head of the bolts. The locking device further includes a spiral wrapped retainer wire that the lockwire is placed through, reducing the possibility that the lockwire will back out of the bolt head. Advantages over traditional safety wire include the elimination of twisting the wire to install and clipping the wire to remove. The lockwire device is used with sets of two bolts, and is ideally suited for automotive applications where engine vibration can loosen manifold bolts.
