An insert 11 for installation in a panel, to provide a threaded socket to receive a screw, comprises a shank (12), with a head (13) at one end. The shank is of uniform square external cross-section and comprises four legs (14). Each leg progressively increases in radial thickness in the direction away from the head (13), so that the bore (16) between the legs progressively reduces in cross-section. When a screw is driven into the bore, the legs are forced apart to anchor the insert in the panel. The insert may be pre-assembled with a suitable screw (22) to form a fastener which enables one installation operation to both anchor the insert to a first panel and removably secure a second panel to the first by means of the screw.
