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
Hex wrench provided in
hardware bag
8
1. Insert the hex wrench
(packed in the hardware
bag) through the access
hole
in
the
interior
panel metal into the hex
opening of the section
latch.
Turn wrench in a
counterclockwise direction
to ensure that the lock is
fully unlatched
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.
Latches on some panels will have
to be turned counterclockwise to
activate the locking cam. These
latches will be designated by a
"TURN" sticker.
• Fully extended cam lock
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.
