Method of securing railing structures for appearance and strength

Abstract

A fastening system, typically for wooden railings or such like, that includes a main fastener supplemented by a locking fastener, all parts of corrosion-proof materials such as any of the alloys known as “stainless steel”. Fasteners deployed in such a manner as to render them not visible after installation of items to be fastened.

1 . A fastening system comprising: 
 1. A Main Fastener, typically installed in a hidden recess in a rail or such like, such that the fastener secures the rail against both vertical and horizontal loading without penetrating said rail;    2. A Locking Fastener, securing the Main Fastener to the aforementioned rail or such like, such that the Main Fastener cannot loosen due to “backing out”, vibrational stress, torsion or other stresses.
