A locking mechanism having a box with a hinged lid in which the box and hinged lid form a circular aperture between them when the lid is closed. The box has an anchoring flange attached which is used to anchor the box to the chassis of a vehicle. The box is anchored and the lid then closed with the aperture around the end of the bar which must be lifted before the third seat can be removed from a sport utility vehicle. Integral with the box is a locking mechanism consisting of a curved bar which holds the lid shut and a turning lock stop. The curved bar removably penetrates the box and has a groove cut across the portion of the bar which fits through the box. The turning lock stop can be moved into a position in which it prevents turning or removal of the curved bar. The turning lock stop can be turned only by means of a key or secret combination.
