Reclosable fastener includes a first track including a first engagement profile having a first hook portion opening in a first direction along a reference axis substantially perpendicular to a burst direction of the fastener and a second track including a second engagement profile having a second hook portion opening in a second direction opposite the first direction along the reference axis and configured to engage the first hook portion in a closed configuration. The first and second hook portions are configured to engage each other when the first and second tracks are urged toward each other along the reference axis, and the first and second hook portions are configured to disengage each other when the first and second tracks are urged away from each other along the reference axis. A reclosable bag having a reclosable fastener and a slider for a reclosable fastener are also provided.

A grommet is at least partially comprised of a clear, rigid material is disclosed. The body of the grommet tapers from a proximal end to a distal end, allowing the grommet to be guided into a hole in a post of a handrail system. The interior of the body includes an longitudinal cannulation open to the exterior of the grommet via a helical cut in the surface, allowing for a wire rope to pass through. The grommet can be installed whether or not a wire rope has previously been passed through a railing post.
