A spare tire cradle locking arrangement in which a lock housing is mounted under the floor of an automobile trunk and the cradle is mounted to pivot into a position where it is retained and locked by a cradle retaining catch and a safety catch of the lock. A manual pull-knob located in the trunk causes simultaneous and automatic release of the safety catch and the retaining catch with the object of unlocking the cradle holding the spare tire, while reraising the cradle causes the automatic locking of the cradle by the catches.
