Abstract: A two-part fastener for fastening two objects together comprising a first fastener part mounted on one of the objects and a second fastener part mounted on the other object. The first fastener part has a plurality of openings therein and the second fastener part has a contractible and expansible locking member which is inserted through one of the openings for fastening the two fastener parts together. The locking member is independently movable with respect to the object upon which the second fastener part is mounted. This enables the locking member to freely move to a position in which it is aligned with an opening in the first fastener part for insertion therethrough.
