Abstract
A locking member is secured permanently to one zipper operator as a pull tab and is selectively positionable onto a second pull tab of another zipper operator when the two are located in juxtaposition. A rod-like detent within the locking member is movable under the selective control of a finger actuated member to pass into a loop on the second zipper operator locking the two operators together. A lock is provided actuatable by a key for securing the detent within the loop on the second pull tab and maintaining the zipper closed until affirmatively unlocked and released.
