A surgical fastener application device includes an anvil half, a cartridge receiving half, a firing assembly including a push plate, and a locking assembly. The cartridge receiving half defines an elongated channel member. The elongated channel member is configured to receive a single-use loading unit (SULU). The locking assembly is supported in the elongated channel member and includes a locking element that selectively engages with the push plate to prevent movement of the push plate relative to the locking element when the SULU is not supported in the elongated channel member.
