A guide to assist in inserting a fastener into a first hole in a first surface which is accessible through a second hole in a wall facing the first surface, comprises a plastic tube press-fitted through the second hole, extending to and surrounding the first hole. A thin plate overlying the wall contains a hole concentric with the second hole but whose diameter is smaller than the fastener, whereby the fastener is held captive within the tube.
