1. A guide system, comprising:
a first member fixed to a structure via an anchor, wherein the first member comprises a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment, wherein the second segment is transverse to the first segment and the third segment, and the first segment and the third segment are parallel;
a coupling element fixed to the first segment of the first member, wherein the coupling element and the anchor are alternatingly positioned along the first segment of the first member; and
a second member coupleable to and decoupleable from the first member fixed to the structure, the second member configured to receive the coupling element to couple the first member to the second member, wherein the second member comprises a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, a fourth portion, and a fifth portion, wherein the second portion is transverse to the first portion and the third portion, wherein the second portion is parallel to the fourth portion, and wherein the first portion, the third portion, and the fifth portion are parallel, wherein the second member includes an opening in the first portion of the second member configured to receive the coupling element, wherein the opening includes a first portion having a first portion width and a second portion having a second portion width, wherein the first portion width is greater than the second portion width and is to allow the second member to move vertically such that a body of the coupling element is moved between the first portion and the second portion of the opening, wherein the second member comprises a ramp, wherein the ramp comprises:
an angled surface relative to a surface of the first portion of the second member;
a front surface that engages the coupling element; and
a side wall that defines a trough in the angled surface and the front surface, wherein the trough has a shape corresponding to the second portion of the opening, wherein the ramp is coupled to the first portion of the second member such that the trough is aligned with the second portion of the opening; and
a channel defined by the third segment of the first member and the fifth portion of the second member when the first member is coupled to the second member, the channel configured to receive a portion of a closure.
