RAIL PANEL MOUNTING LATCH ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A latch (10) removably mounts a rail-containing panel (12) to a vertical slotted standard (14). The latch (10) is secured to the rear side (118) of the panel (12) and comprises a base plate (60), a bar lock (62), a plug lock (64) and a retainer (68). The base plate includes a bar lock guide (70), a plug lock guide (78) and an opening (76) extending through the back wall (72) of the base plate (60). The bar lock (62) is slid- ably mounted in the bar lock guide (70) and has a lateral notch and a rearwardly-projecting first hook (90) engaging the opening (76). The plug lock (64) is rotatably mounted in the plug lock guide (78) and includes a tab (106) engaging the lateral notch (88). The retainer (68) is rigidly secured to the back wall (72) of the base plate (60). The panel (12) is remov- ably mounted to the standard (14) by first engaging the retainer (68) with a substantially rectangular slot (17) of the standard (14), subsequently engaging the first hook (90) with a substantially square slot (16) of the standard (14) and finally rotating the plug lock (64) in the appropriate direction to drive the bar lock (62) upwardly in the bar lock guide (70), due to the force exerted on the bar lock (62) by the tab (106) of the plug lock (64), to position the first hook (90) in engagement with the rear face (124) of the standard (14) to thus mount the panel (12) to the standard (14).
