Abstract A security enclosure for enclosing an item to be protected has a base, a left panel 120, a right panel 130, a top panel 140 and a front panel. The enclosure employs a complementary interlocking mechanism comprising at least two knobs (480, 470) mounted and spaced apart from one another on a first piece, wherein each knob (480, 470) has a 5 stem extending outwardly from the first piece flaring distally to a greater width thereby forming a head. The knobs interact with a complementary set of at least two L-shaped slots (720, 730) spaced apart on a second piece 660. Each of the at least two L-shaped slots comprising an elongated slot extending substantially parallel to an edge of the second piece and connected to the edge proximal one end thereof by an enlarged hole thereby forming a mouth, which slot is large enough to accommodate the stem of its complementary knob but unable to accommodate the head thereof, which 0 L-shaped slot slidably engages with its complementary knob and interlocks together. The complementary locking can be employed in tight spaces and in poor lighting conditions. The panels assemble so that they can only be assembled and disassembled in a particular order. Even partially assembled, the panels are self-standing, permitting a single user to safely and effectively assemble and disassemble the security enclosure. A pinning mechanism permits the locking together of the panels and base.
