The present invention is a lockable snap-clip fastener with two spring-biased jaw members and a slidable locking bar. The locking bar is held in position by the same spring that biases the jaws. As the bar is held in either the locked or unlocked position, it must be positively actuated in order to transition from one configuration to the other. 1. A clip fastener comprising: i. a hind lever end;', 'ii. a two distal tabs, one on either side of the mandible jaw and each having a hole such that the holes are coaxial;', 'iii. a stop tab positioned between one of the distal tabs and the hind lever; and', 'iv. a forward hooked tooth; and, 'a. a mandible jaw, the mandible jaw further comprising i. a rear transverse bar extending from a jaw body;', 'ii. a back ridge forward of the transverse bar;', 'iii. a transverse lock channel having an open top and being forward of the back ridge; and', 'iv. a forward cradle comprising a floor and two side walls, the sidewalls each having a tooth spaced apart from the floor and one orifice such that the orifices are diametrically opposite each other;, 'b. a maxilla jaw, the maxilla jaw further comprisingc. a pivot bar, being inserted through the orifices of the maxilla jaw and the holes in the distal tabs of the mandible jaw;d. a spring situated about the pivot bar and anchored on the back ridge, positioned to bias the jaws in a closed relationship; and i. a vertical notch located off center of the lock bar;', 'ii. a horizontal notch located on an upper half of the lock bar and off center on an opposite side of the vertical notch; and', 'iii. a ridge residing within the horizontal notch such that two detents are formed by the ridge and an interior of the horizontal notch;, 'e. a lock bar, situated within the lock channel of the maxilla and capable of slidable motion therethrough, the lock bar further comprisingwherein, horizontal notch of the lock bar resides under an end of the spring anchored upon the back ridge of the maxilla jaw ...
