ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A recessed pill is provided for movable panels, e.g. the front panel of a file cabinet, desk drawer or the like in which the front panel has an aperture intermediate its sides. A unitary trim piece is provided for surrounding the aperture, having grooves along its upper and lower edges adapted to accommodate the upper and lower edges of the panel around the aperture. Yielding edge means are provided intermediately disposed integrally on the trim piece and comprising an intermediately extending beveled portion along at least one of the edges of the trim piece and defining the corresponding portion of the groove thereat for enabling the trim piece to be deformed locally thereat in a direction substantially crosswise of the normal plane of the beveled portion under pressure laterally there against and to return to its original shape upon the release of the pressure, whereby the trim piece may be pressed thereat against an adjacent edge portion of the panel around the aperture and into self-supporting position into the aperture with the upper and lower edges of the panel around the aperture accommodated in the grooves along the upper and lower edges of the trim piece upon the release of the pressure and return of the trim piece to its original shape for snap-locking the unitary trim piece into the panel aperture. A cover member is provided having rear, top and bottom walls and a flange downwardly extending from the top wall of the cover member engageable in the groove along the upper edge of the trim piece. Weight means are provided for exerting downward pressure on the flange of the cover member to maintain the flange in the groove in the trim piece to inhibit inadvertent disengagement of the cover member from the trim piece. By such construction, the possibilities of damage to the hand of the user or engagement with the clothing of a passerby who might come into inadvertent contact which relatively sharp edges are minimized. Also, inadvertent buckling of the panel or drawer front under certain conditions is minimized.
