A self-locking rocker recliner is provided. The rocker recliner includes a base frame and a rocking frame that is rockably connected to said base frame. The rocking frame supports seating surfaces of the rocker recliner, such as a seat back, a seat bottom, a footrest, and armrests. The rocking frame includes an upper rocking frame and a lower rocking frame that are movably connected so that the rocker recliner can be adjusted between an upright position and at least one reclined position, such as a TV or fully reclined position. The rocker recliner can be reclined by rotating a recline lever on the side of the rocker recliner, and reclining the rocker recliner can also cause the extension of a footrest. A lockout lever, which is attached to the rocker recliner, is configured to be moved by a user between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lockout lever is linked to a dual-action locking mechanism rotatably attached to the rocker recliner such that rotation of the lockout lever causes a corresponding rotation of the dual-action locking mechanism between a locked position and an unlocked position. Rotation of the dual-action locking mechanism to the locked position prevents rocking of the rocker recliner. The dual-action locking mechanism is also configured to rotate to the locked position when the rocking frame is reclined to the reclined position.
