A fastener for glazed doors of the type including a glazing panel and a frame having a channel-shaped surface extending along an edge of the panel and having a web normal to a panel face and a pair of opposite flanges. The fastener includes a thin sheet metal base adapted to be mounted on the web of the frame member and having wedge arms engageable against the opposite flanges of the frame member when the body of the fastener is rotated about an axis normal to the web with a tool or other implement to securely retain the fastener in place. The fastener includes one or more fingers having a free outer end extending outwardly toward an adjacent flange of the frame member and spaced from the web in order to form a slot for receiving an inside edge of glazing strip which is positioned between the finger and the adjacent flange. The fasteners can be rapidly installed on the frame members with only a screw driver and do not require any hole drilling or punching operations or the use of any separate screws, rivets, or clips.
A fastener clip for securing one or more glazing strips in position along a web of a frame member extending along a peripheral edge of a glazing panel flanked by said strips, said web including a substantially planar base surface generally normal to a face of said glazing panel and a pair of upstanding ribs engaged by said glazing strips when positioned to glaze said panel and extending along opposite edges of said base surface, said base surface and said ribs forming a pair of opposed recesses extending longitudinally of said frame member along opposite sides, each of said recesses adapted to receive and hold a corner portion of a glazing strip engaged therewith;
