Abstract
A pair of legs depending from the ring of a lock nut carrier pass through oppositely disposed arcuate slits in a spring clip and cleave to the lock nut so that the spring clip will support the nut within a metal channel framing member. The carrier and nut are locked into position ready to receive a fastener by pushing down on the carrier and spring clip with a thumb or finger and rotating the carrier legs within the arcuate slits.
