A locking device 100 to inhibit loosening of screw action fasteners includes a resilient wire forming a single coil 102 for releasably mounting the device 100 onto a first fastener. The wire also has first and second end portions 103, 104 extending tangentially from the coil 102 and across one another to provide first and second lever portions 130, 141, respectively. The lever portions 130, 141 can be pressed together to loosen the coil 102, in order to enable its location over, or removal from, the first fastener. Otherwise, the coil 102 grips the first fastener when it is located thereover, thereby to mount the device 100 onto the first fastener such that movement of the device relative to the first fastener is inhibited. The first end portion 103 has a hook 131 configured to abut and partially surround an adjacent, second fastener in the plane of rotation of the first fastener.
