A frame assembly for shipment of dunnage that includes a generally rectangular frame having spaced side bars, support rails for vertically supporting dunnage, and a bar and lock arrangement mounted on the frame for locking the dunnage against the support rails. The bar and lock arrangement features a bar having latches at opposed ends of the bar for releasably securing each bar end to an opposed striker mounted on the frame. A pair of swing arms respectively extend from each end of the bar, and are pivotally mounted to an adjacent side bar of the frame so that the swing arms and bar are pivotable as a unit with respect to the frame through an arc between a lowered position remote from the dunnage in the frame upwardly and then downwardly to a second position in which the bar vertically engages the dunnage to lock the dunnage within the frame. Strikers are affixed to the frame for releasably locking the bar in both of the first and second positions. Each latch bolt has a spherical end face that cams over the opposing strikers and helps eliminate alignment problems between the locking bar and the strikers.
