A lockable, light-weight pick-up truck tonneau cover comprised of a pair of pivotally connected panels which are rotatable about a common transverse axis. A distinguishing feature of the cover is that the panels generally consist of a continuous wall with narrow transverse depressions in top and bottom portions of the wall. The depressions divide the panels into a pluality of transverse cells which extend substantially across the widths of the panels. The panels are attached to the pick-up truck with a pair of slotted brackets which engage short inward extending mounting posts which are attached to the cargo box. At the four outer corners of the cover are hand operated latches for selectively retaining the panels in covering relationship to the cargo box. Adjacent to two of latches are key operated locks for selectively preventing releases of the adjacent latches. A secondary latch mounted to the underside of the rear panel restricts opening of the panel to a small amount when the panel is acted upon by aerodynamic forces and the panel's latch is inadvertently not engaged. A catch mounted on the truck's tailgate prevents opening of the tailgate when the rear panel is closed.
