In one embodiment, a threadless positioning pin includes a head end, a pilot end, a positioning shank, a retainer shank, and a keyway. In another embodiment, a threadless positioning retainer includes a first end, a second end, an exterior, and an interior with a key extending from an inner surface proximate the first end. In another embodiment, a threadless positioning fastener includes a threadless positioning pin and a threadless positioning retainer, including an interior with a key configured to ride in a keyway of the threadless positioning pin. In another embodiment, a method of joining assembly elements includes providing a primary element, advancing a threadless positioning pin through a positioning hole so that a key rides along a keyway, and rotating the threadless positioning pin so that the key engages the keyway to trap the primary element between the threadless positioning pin and a threadless positioning retainer.
