A wall system for partitioning interior space within a building includes an internal frame made up of vertical posts and horizontal rails extending between the posts. Panels providing a fascia defining a covering on the frame are coupled to the panel by plug-in connectors. The panels may include "smart" elements or fascias providing writing or tack board surfaces, or an accessory element to which shelves or other accessories can be coupled. Heavier capacity shelves can be coupled directly to the posts of the frame. Electrical and/or data connections can be provided via a horizonal rail incorporated in the skin. The rails can include a plug-in module and wire management channels extending outwardly from the module. The wall system may incorporate a pocket door built on the same principle as the overall wall structure. Also disclosed are a pivot door structure and a patch plate for fitting a standard lockset or latchset to a glass door.

1. A wall system for partitioning interior space within a building, the system comprising an internal frame having upright posts and transverse rails extending between the posts, and a plurality of panels secured to the frame and forming an external wall covering on the frame;wherein at least one of said panels comprises, as part of said wall covering, a panel element selected from a tack board, a whiteboard, and an accessory board having at least one transversely extending undercut channel by which an accessory can be coupled to the element; and wherein the wall system further includes: a power/data rail extending transversely of the wall structure and including at least one module having plug-in receptacles for power and/or data, wherein the rail provides a lay-in channel for wire management and is defined by a generally C-shaped base extrusion that opens laterally of the wall covering of the wall system and is coupled to said internal frame, said base extrusion receiving said module and providing laterally of said module said lay-in channel for wire management, the power/data rail further including first cover means for said module and second cover means for said lay-in channel laterally outwardly of the module, said base extrusion being positioned so that said second cover means is generally flush with an outer surface of said external wall covering; and, a pivot door installed in an opening in said wall system, wherein the door is pivotally supported in said opening by top and bottom pivot pins that are aligned with one another to define a pivot axis of the door and wherein said top pivot pin is part of a mechanism that includes means supporting the top pivot pin for movement in the direction of said pivot axis between an advanced position in which the pivot pin supports the door in the door opening, and a retracted position in which the pivot pin is withdrawn into the door sufficiently to allow installation and removal of the door from the door opening, and means accessible from externally of the door for moving the pivot pin between its advanced position and its retracted position.
