A solid plug, any chosen material, tapered to approximately one degree or un-tapered, having a three-dimensionally textured surface made up of elements imparted upon a surface of the plug causing the plug to exhibit a strong hold-in force of outwardly directed pressure against a side wall of a drilled hole into which the plug is installed keeping the plug within the drilled hole so that the plug does not protrude out of the hole preventing tripping hazards when the hole is drilled in walking surfaces all without requiring the addition of a glue, special tools, or special fasteners. The elements most often imparted on a circumferential surface of the plug comprise outwardly projecting protuberances or incised structures. The plug has a 30 second or less installation time. When the plug is a wooden plug its top end exhibits the wood's face grain.
