In one aspect, a latching system includes a housing, a female receptacle and a post. The housing has a channel extending along a first axis within an interior of the housing, an opening extending along a second axis normal to the first axis, and attachment features disposed on an exterior surface of the housing. The female receptacle is configured to couple to the housing within the channel and includes a center aperture and a saddle portion disposed between a first portion and a second portion. The female receptacle is configured to receive at least some of the post such that the surface of the saddle portion aligns with at least some of a groove of the post. Various acute angles of the female receptacle and the post control the force required to insert and remove the post from the female receptacle.
