A clinching or swaging fastener for securely mounting a secondary article, such as a magnet, flush to a surrounding surface. An interference fit fastening feature holds the secondary article flush by using a deformable center knob on the end wall at the bottom of the retainer. Alignment features on the outer portion of the retainer body can fixture the magnet in a desired orientation. A radial flange surrounds the mouth of the bore which has a peripheral lip that extends upwardly. Clinch attachment means comprising a circular peripheral undercut is located on the outside of the body just below the flange for attaching the body to a host object. The article may have a peripheral chamfer at the top which receives the lip as it is deformed against the article to provide a flush alignment to the host object.
