ABSTRACT:
A locking arrangement is provided for releasably locking door panels made of flexible material. The locking arrangement is adapted to be used on door panels of conventional vehicle shelters. The locking arrangement comprises a pair of generally hook-shaped locking members attached to the inner peripheral edges of the door panels. The locking members have mutually engaging hooking sections. A resiliently biased portion of the door panel biases the hooking members away from each other, thus lockingly forcing the hooking sections against each other. The specific configuration of the locking members is adapted to prevent the members from being unlocked by external pressure caused by the wind blowing onto the exterior surface of the door panels. A pair of gripping apertures extending through the door panels adjacent the locking structures facilitate the handling of the locking assembly.
