The accessory engages the support housing at an angle. The head of the locking stem is positioned in the accessory and the body positioned in the support housing. Movement of body away from the accessory causes the head to engage opposing inside surfaces of the accessory and effect a locking of the accessory to the support housing and a frame. In a preferred embodiment, the accessory is a towel bar and the support housing is connected to a shower door frame.
