The hinge receiver includes a pair of deformable tangs each having an opening. The hinge receiver includes a hinge pin having a pair of axial ends, each extending into the opening of the tang. Each axial end of the pin includes a tapered portion, which facilitates insertion of the hinge pin into the hinge receiver.
