The invention pertains to an improved overcenter buckle for tensioning straps used for securing cargo during transport wherein the buckle includes a handle pivotally mounted upon a U-shaped body, and the tension strap is threaded through the handle wherein pivoting thereof between open and closed positions tensions the strap. The improved construction comprises a lock plate slidably mounted on the body displaceable between handle lock and release positions and the lock plate is sufficient spaced from the handle to allow handle clearance during release.
