Rail assemblies and methods of mounting rail assemblies to panels

A glass door comprising:

• a glass panel;
• one or more rail assembly, removably coupled to the glass panel, wherein each rail assembly comprises:
• a housing;
• comprising a channel and at least one cavity;
• at least one endcap removably couplable to the housing;
• at least one lock, disposed within the at least one cavity, and extending along a length of the housing;
• at least one cam, disposed within the channel and extending along the length of the housing, wherein the cam is rotatable between an open position and a closed position;
• wherein rotation of the cam causes movement of the one or more locks to compressively retain the glass panel within the cavity;
• and
• wherein the endcap is configured to inhibit rotation of the cam when the endcap is coupled to the housing.

A method for attaching a rail assembly to a panel, the method comprising:

• positioning the panel in the rail assembly such that at least an edge portion of the panel is disposed proximate at least one lock, disposed within at least one cavity, and extending along a length of a housing of the rail assembly;
• rotating at least one cam, disposed within a channel extending along the length of the housing, from an open position to a closed position;
• moving one or more locks, operatively coupled to the cam, in response to rotation of the cam, wherein movement of the locks compressively retains the panel within the cavity;
• and
• coupling at least one endcap to the housing, wherein the endcap is configured to inhibit rotation of the cam when the endcap is coupled to the housing.
