This relates to a closure which may be fully lockingly engaged on a container neck finish in sealed relation yet may be easily released and which is replaceable to effect resealing of the contents. The closure includes primarily a cap-like closure element and a retaining ring, with the closure element having a skirt with a free end and depending from the skirt free end radially inwardly displaceable locking means which will lockingly engage in a peripheral groove in a container neck finish and which are forced into such a groove by a retaining ring which is provided with a locking groove for receiving in locking engagement radially outer portions of the locking means, whereby the retaining sleeve is locked to the closure element and the closure element is locked to the container neck finish.
