Locking device

A locking device for securing a first structure to a second structure, the locking device comprising:

• a housing securable to the first structure;
• a lock base securable to the second structure;
• and
• a locking tab slidably received within said housing, said locking tab having a first end retained within said housing and a second end extending outwardly from said housing, said locking tab having an extended position wherein said second end is slidably received within said lock base, and having a retracted position wherein said second end is disengaged from said lock base,
• said lock base including a flexibly resilient locking arm having a locking head, said locking arm having a locked and an unlocked configuration, said second end of said locking tab including an opening into which said locking head on said locking arm is received when said locking tab is in said extended position and said locking arm is in said locked configuration, the receipt of said locking head within said opening preventing movement of said locking tab from said extended to said retracted position,
• said lock base including a resilient member biasing said locking arm to said locked configuration,
• said lock base further including a flexibly resilient removable key member engagable and disengagable with said lock base, when engaged with said lock base a compressive force applied to said key member causes movement of a resilient arm on said key member in a direction toward said locking arm, wherein engagement of said resilient arm of said key member with said locking arm causes movement of said locking arm from said locked to said unlocked configuration,
• when said locking arm engaged with said second end of said locking tab and said key member disengageable from said lock base and said resilient member maintaining said locking arm in said locked configuration to prevent movement of said locking tab from said extended to said retracted position.
