Abstract

A flexible-wall lockable container for securing valuables. The lockable container includes a container and a locking member. The container includes an interior portion, an access opening, and a closure member. The closure member has an open position permitting access to the interior portion of the container, and a closed position where the closure member closes the access opening. The locking member includes a body and a retainer member slidably attached to the body. The retainer member has a locked position with respect to the body for locking the closure member in the closed position and an unlocked position for allowing the closure member to move between the closed and open positions. The body includes a receiver having two lower lugs extending from the receiver. The retainer member includes a flange having two upper lugs extending from the flange. When the retainer member is in the locked position, a portion of the closure member is positioned between the sides of the lugs to inhibit the portion of the closure member from moving with respect to the upper and lower lugs.
