A multi-piece slider member (150) is provided for use with a closure device having interlocking fastening strips (120, 130) disposed along opposing side walls of a storage container, such as a conventional plastic bag. The slider member (150) includes a first housing segment (160), a separate second housing segment (170), and a latching mechanism (200) for use in assembling the first and second housing segments together onto the fastening strips. The latching mechanism (200) includes a first member (210) disposed on the first housing segment and a cooperating second member (240) disposed on the second housing segment. When the first and second housing segments (150, 160) are moved together during assembly, the second member (240) receives the first member (210) while the first member engages the second member to hold the first and second housing segments together in an assembled portion. The slider member (150) also includes an alignment mechanism (270) for aligning the first and second housing segments. The aligment mechanism (270) includes a first pin (272) in the first housing segment and a first cooperating slot (274) in the second housing segment. The first pin (272) engages the first slot (274) when the housing segments are assembled.
