A hydraulically actuated subsurface well safety valve having a first hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly for normally actuating a flow tube and controlling the opening and closing of the valve. A second lock-out piston and cylinder assembly is provided for holding the valve in the open position and a hydraulically actuated release mechanism engages the lock-out for releasing the lock-out and allowing the valve to close. A releasable and engagable latch mechanism in the second assembly releasably holds the second assembly inactive but can be overcome and reengaged for multiple operations.
