Locking pull-tabs for a zipper include a first pull-tab that may be connected to a first slider and a second pull-tab that may be connected to a second slider of the zipper. The first pull-tab and second pull-tab include a first locking coupler and a second locking coupler, respectively. The first locking coupler and second locking coupler may enable the first pull-tab and second pull-tab to engage each other in a manner that secures a zipper in a closed arrangement and, thus, provides some security to contents of an item that are enclosed in the item with the zipper. The first locking coupler and second locking coupler may engage each other in a manner that requires intentional and conspicuous manipulation of the first pull-tab and second pull-tab to uncouple them. Methods for locking a zipper are also disclosed.
