A gun-like member is used for inserting an elongated pin having a head at one end and a pointed tip portion at its other end and a circumferential groove adjacent the pointed tip portion. The elongated pin is so constructed and arranged the backing member that receives the pointed tip portion and the circumferential groove of the elongated pin therewithin when the enlarged head of the elongated pin is fully inserted through aligned hinge barrels and into the backing member.
