The tracks include a primary latch receiving track 32, a secondary spring track 34 extending from the bottom of the primary track and an auxiliary stop track or channel spring loaded slam latch 36 disposed along one side of the primary track. Typically, however, the latches are individually configured to receive a particular size and type of fastener.
Selecting one of a plurality of polygonal shaped fastener components and disposing said selected one of said polygonal shaped fastener components in said interior receptacle, wherein said interior receptacle is configured to constrain a rotation of said selected one of said polygonal shaped fastener components.

For example and without limitation, a smaller strike component can be safely engaged by the dual slam latch, since the opening between the opposing latch components is smaller than the opening formed between an single latch component and an opposing side wall of the strike channel.
