Magnet, pin, and spring assisted lockable horizontally and vertically aligning ergonomic novel latch mechanisms

A system for joining panels at panel edges at a 90-degree angle, comprising:

• a first frame embedded into a first panel, the first frame including one of a first magnet and a steel plate;
• a second frame embedded into a second panel, the second panel and the first panel positioned at a 90-degree angle;
• and
• a rotatable hammer attached to the second frame that, when rotated 90 degrees via a hinge, attaches to the first frame,
• wherein the second frame has alignment holes on two surfaces comprising an end surface and a top surface that are perpendicular to each other and are configured to receive dowel pins when the second frame and the first frame are positioned at one of 90 and 180 degree angles relative to each other.

A system for adjoining panels at a 180-degree angle, comprising:

• a first assembly embedded into and proximate a first edge of a first panel;
• a second assembly embedded into and proximate a second edge of a second panel, the edges joined upon the panels receiving adjacent positioning at a 180-degree angle;
• a rotatable pivot arm attached via a hinge to the second assembly, the arm containing an embedded first magnet;
• and
• one of a second magnet and a steel plate embedded into the first assembly that receives contact with the first magnet upon 180-degree rotation of the pivot arm,
• wherein the magnets and steel are fully or partially embedded,
• wherein the second assembly has alignment holes on two surfaces comprising an end surface and a top surface that are perpendicular to each other and are configured to receive dowel pins when the second assembly and the first assembly are positioned at one of 90 and 180 degree angles relative to each other.
