I'm in the process of designing a wall system that will use torsion panels.
What I'm stuck on is a method to join the panels together - solidly, but
temporarily.
What I have in mind looks something like a window latch that could be
mortised into the edges of the panels. It would have a square or hex key to
turn and lock it. Something like the latch that would be on a pocket door,
but with a tighter fit.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

if you don't mind surface mounted hardware on the back, look at a
steater supply for coffin locks.
