Embodiments of the invention provide a system and a method for mounting a panel within an enclosure. Using one or more sets of mounting blocks, the panel and a frame of the enclosure can be secured together in respective horizontal orientations, then collectively rotated to a vertical orientation. The one or more sets of mounting blocks can include a set of stop blocks, each including a respective tongue, and a set of slide blocks, each defining a respective recess when seated on a frame member of the enclosure frame. Each tongue can be configured to nest within a corresponding recess when the mounting blocks secure the panel to a corresponding frame member.

Embodiments provide a strip gasket with one or more adhesive strips on the gasket. The strip gasket resists stretching because a non-stretchable carrier is located within an adhesive strip on the gasket which helps prevent the gasket from being stretched. The strip gasket is also able to create a tight seal when it is installed against a desired surface. This tight seal prevents water and other particulate matter from passing around the strip gasket.
