ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for securing a hooked member to a post after engagement of the hooked member with the post. The hooked member has vertically aligned upper and lower hooks. A deformable locking tab is formed atop the lower hook, beneath a recessed web portion of the hooked member. The locking tab has top, rear and front edges. A locking arm projects forwardly from the front edge. A first notch is cut in the top edge; and, a second notch is cut in the recessed web portion, adjacent the first notch. A levering implement such as a screwdriver can be fitted between the notches and used to pry the locking tab away from the locked position if it is desired to remove the hooked member from the post.
