Abstract
The assembly includes a strike component comprising a headed screw and a catch component comprising a base member with a protruding catch member for engaging the head of the screw. The fastener compensates for misalignment by longitudinal motion of the catch component along an elongated screw receiving slot and by screwing the strike component in or out thereby positioning the head. The base member is mounted on an integral flange thereby spacing the slot from the mounting surface so the perimeter of the slot can be deformed when a mounting screw passes through. The perimeter of the slot thereby provides a biasing force resisting longitudinal motion of the base member.
