A locking system for retaining a pair of modular wall partitions in locked relationship. The locking system includes a threaded insert means in the first partition end aligned with a bolt extending through the end of the second partition. As the bolt is threaded into the insert the respective ends of the partitions are drawn together to lock the same in a rigid connection one to the other.

A locking system for uniting two modular wall partitions normal to each other wherein each partition includes vertical end portions two spaced panels each respectively forming outer and inner wall surfaces, spacer means to maintain said panels in spaced relationship, said locking system comprising: an elongated first frame member generally H shaped in cross-section having a coplaner wall partition receiving inner and outer channel formed by a pair of spaced parallel legs, said channels divided by a cross member extending between said legs and said legs of said outer channel extending around one of said end portions and engaging the outer and inner wall surfaces of a first wall partition; an elongated second frame member which includes a generally U shaped portion in cross section forming a wall partition receiving channel for a second wall partition normal to said first wall partition, said U shaped portion formed by a pair of spaced parallel legs and including a base member, and said legs of said outer channel extending around one of said end portions and engaging the outer and inner wall surfaces of said second of said partitions, said second frame member also includes a generally T shaped portion in cross section projecting from said base member forming a coplaner inner and outer channel between said base member and the top of said T with the plane of said channels running normal to the plane of said wall receiving channel of U shaped portion; a portion of said elongated first frame member adapted to frictionally interfit within a portion of second frame member; and removable locking means including a portion in said first elongated frame member and a portion in said second elongated frame member which when united will draw said frame member toward each other and maintain the first and second partitions in interlocked relationship one normal to the other.
