I believe the answer is:

dowel

(Other definitions for dowel that I've seen before include "Short peg used as a fastener" , "Peg used for fastening two adjacent parts of a structure" , "Peg fitting into hole" , "Headless peg used for joining components" , "Fixing peg" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
