SECTION LATCHES
All wall, corner, ceiling and floor panels are joined and locked together by the
mechanical action of section latches which are integrally foamed into the panels
near the perimeter edges. A section latch consists of two halves – a lock housing
which contains a cam actuated locking arm, or hook, and a strike housing which
contains the engagement pin. Both housing halves are securely anchored in the
foam core of the panel. The lock housing is always located in the male-formed
edge and the strike housing will be found in the female-formed edge of the panel.
TO OPERATE LATCHES

bag) through the access
hole in the interior
panel metal into the hex
opening of the section

2. Push the sections
tightly together and turn
the wrench 1/4 turn in a
clockwise direction. This
will engage the locking
arm (hook) over the pin in
the strike housing.
3. Continue turning the
wrench to a full stop
(approximately 3/4 of a
complete turn from the
unlatched position) to
complete the locking
operation.
