Demountable wall system and method

A method of installing a panel on a frame of a demountable wall system comprising:

• positioning the panel in a front channel defined by a frame component of the frame, wherein the frame component comprises a base, the base comprising a front edge, a back edge opposite from the front edge, and a divider between the front edge and the back edge, wherein the frame component defines the front channel between the divider and the front edge, wherein the front channel comprises a channel surface, and wherein the frame defines a locking slot in the front edge between the channel surface and a bottom surface of the base;
• and
• inserting a key of a front cover into a locking slot defined by the frame component such that the front cover partially covers the panel in the front channel, wherein a profile of the key is complimentary to a profile of the locking slot, and wherein inserting the key into the locking slot retains the front cover in place relative to the frame component.

• and
• a front cover comprising a key, wherein a profile of the key is complimentary to a profile of the locking slot, and wherein the key is removably positionable within the locking slot such that the front cover covers the front channel at the front edge and the front cover is retained in place relative to the frame component.
