I read about the nite ize s binder and how they are a deterrent for pick pocketing. I purchased the #2 online and can’t seem to figure it out how to lock it. Any ideas?
I use Nite Ize all the time. I have one of the minis on my pant belt loop. You slide the little rubber piece back and forth to either lock it or unlock it. I attach the remote to my car on mine.
Is it this one?

If you zoom in on the image you can see the locking mechanism in the middle . The lock twists in a circular manner. Twisted vertical is unlocked. When twisted into a horizontal position it locks the side pieces.
I have plastic ones with the same dialmthing in the middle that you twist to lock or unlock.
There are some that don't lock, and there are 2 different types of locks on the ones that do lock.
Wow--- No instructions with the item?
..... or is it supposed to be puzzle like this-- https://www.seriouspuzzles.com/patience-puzzle-group-8-tavern-puzzle/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoMTkpoGa4wIVjsBkCh1G1ADiEAYYAyABEgJSC_D_BwE
No instructions. I bought the wrong one. I didn't know there was different kinds.
So the ones with the "microlock" only come in one size? So this is what i need to get https://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-LSBM-01-2R3-MicroLock-Stainless/dp/B07FQV9TXY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=S-Biner%C2%AE%2BMicroLock%C2%AE%2BStainless%2BSteel&qid=1562202300&s=gateway&sr=8-3&th=1
No, I have locking ones in various sizes.
Here's a size 2 that locks:

LIZinPA thank you for the link. Looks easy enough to lock. Too bad that there is not a multi pack.
I'm sure there are if you explore.
There are micro locks, slide locks, and no locks.
I use these to lock the zipper heads together on my purse in some locations. It helps to have a 2 way zipper, othereise you need to find some other hardware to hook it to.....or sew on a tiny D ring as a second attachment.
I think mine came in a two pack.
Eddie Bauer stores in Canada sell these brands, so maybe check out their website - and REI.
An easy way to lock a purse or pocket zipper is to put a safety pin across the track just by the slider.
I bought a 5 pack of the small Nite Ize S binder microlock clips at Home Depot for about $10 a few weeks ago. Found them in the section with padlocks for gym lockers and other carabiner clips.
Umm, I got a bigger, realer carabiner. The screw lock gate style climbing biner is readily available at an outdoor store like REI. Wide selection of colors and brands.

Bigger/realer probably won't work in this situation.

I agree. No one wants to secure their purse with a locking carabiner! The #2 s-biner is just the right size to slip through the purse zippers ( or luggage zippers).
A full size carabiner won’t go through the hardware, is much more expensive, and quite a bit heavier. They’re great for mountaineering. Not so good for domestic stuff.
I used a plastic one with the microlock ( the little thing you turn like a dial) to hold two zipper plus together on a checked duffel bag full of backpacking equipment ( tent, sleeping bag and pad, backpack, and more). When I unpacked, I found a TSA note inside, explaining that they inspected my bag contents ( fine) but had to break off the "lock" to open the bag ( not fine). It is pretty annoying that they could not figure out power to open that little 'biner and had to break it instead.
