SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR JOINING PANELS
A cabinet includes a plurality of cabinet panels coupled together to form a cabinet. At least two adjoining panels are joined together by a rail lock and cleat tab joining structure which includes a flange strip extending from an adjoining side edge of each of the at least two adjoining panels. A rail lock and cleat tab joining structure includes a rail lock having a plurality of taper locks. Each cleat tab of a first panel is substantially aligned with each cleat tab of a second panel to form a pair of aligned cleat tabs. The pair of aligned cleat tabs is captured together by an interference fit with tapered edges of each corresponding taper lock to form a seam joining the first panel to the second panel. A gun cabinet, a safety shelter or safe room, and a method for joining two adjacent panels is also described.
