A locking device for selectively locking and releasing a rope or a similar elongated, flexible element comprises a channel-shaped frame and a clamping member which is provided with a handle and is mounted swingably within the frame. The clamping member cooperates with a rope abutment surface defined by the bottom wall so as to clamp the rope, when the clamping member is swung in one direction by means of the handle, and so as to release the rope when the clamping member is swung in the opposite direction. In order to render it possible to arrange the handle in a convenient, protected position within the channel-shaped frame in the rope releasing as well as in the rope locking or clamping position of the clamping member, the clamping member and the handle are separate parts, each of which are independently swingable about a common axis, and the clamping member and the handle may be releasably interconnected by means of releasable coupling means, which may comprise a locking pawl.
