Claim 9:
10. An assembly for attaching a piece of material to a building structure, the assemble comprising:
a clip, having—
a base;
a first wall projecting away from the base, the first wall including a first laterally outward facing pocket configured to operably receive a first flange portion or a support member; and
a second wall projecting away from the base opposite the first wall, the second wall including a second laterally outward facing pocket configured to operably receive a second flange portion of the support member opposite the first flange portion; and

a locking device pivotably coupled to the clip and rotatable between an unlocked position and a locked position, wherein, in the locked position, the locking device contacts portions of the first and second walls to bias the first and second walls away from each other, wherein the locking device is configured to rotate about a pivot axis, wherein the locking device includes a first web portion extending between the pivot axis and a first locking surface portion and positioned offset from the pivot axis, and wherein, in the locked position, a force exerted along the first web portion by interaction of the first locking surface portion with an inner pocket wall of the second pocket imparts a torque on the locking device biasing the locking device toward the locked position.
