The invention pertains to a railing fastener for drawers that has one part with an expansion dowel located in the front panel of the drawer and one part that is a fastener (that can be inserted), which is connected in the dowel to the railing pipe. The fastener fitting has a head component with an expansion head that can be inserted in the expansion dowel. Guides and/or catches are provided on the head component, respectively the expansion head, that work together with the corresponding grooves or catch openings of the expansion dowel. After completely inserting the expansion head, the expansion dowel spreads, activated by the swinging or swiveling of the fastener fitting; the guides or catches reach the corresponding lock-in positions so that the fastener fitting is held securely in the expansion dowel and an extraction of the expansion head is no longer possible.
