The dovetail locking device is used to secure fins to the rear end of a missile. A plurality of spaced bosses are secured to the missile by welding. Each fin carries a dovetail portion that is received by a dovetail slot in the boss. A plurality of metal discs, an actuator and a threaded screw are utilized to set up a force on the dovetail legs to force them apart and provide a friction lock for the dovetail components.
