I believe the answer is:

cleats

(Other definitions for cleats that I've seen before include "On which to fasten ropes on board" , "Projections around which ropes are secured" , "Devices on board ship for fastening ropes" , "Footwear stabilisers found in castle" , "Projections around which a rope can be tied" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
