• a removable fastener configured to secure a first structural element to a second structural element wherein the first structural element includes a substantially planar first web portion and a first aperture formed in the first web portion, the first aperture having a first aperture width, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, and a first bottom edge, and the second structural element includes a substantially planar second web portion and a second aperture formed in the second web portion, the second aperture having a second aperture width, a third lateral edge, a fourth lateral edge, and a second bottom edge, the fastener comprising:
• a joining member, the joining member including an elongate body having a first end and a second end, the elongate body having a length greater than each aperture width, wherein:
• the first end further comprises a first notch having a first opening facing away from the second end, the first notch having a first width configured to receive the first lateral edge and the third lateral edge when the joining member is engaged within the first aperture and second aperture;
• and
• the second end further comprises a second notch having a second opening facing away from the first end, the second notch having a second width configured to receive the second lateral edge and the fourth lateral edge when the joining member is engaged within the first aperture and second aperture;
• and
• a locking member, wherein the locking member comprises:
• a stud end configured to rest on the first bottom edge and second bottom edge, wherein the stud end has a stud end notch configured to receive the first bottom edge and the second bottom edge;
• and
