Abstract
A restructurable enclosure having a plurality of mounting blocks which are secured to the body of the enclosure at various spaced locations around and adjacent the outer peripheral portions of the door and wall panel openings therein. Each of the mounting blocks includes a plurality of threaded bores in the bottom surface thereof which communicate with openings in the enclosure body to facilitate permanent mounting of such blocks to the enclosure, and to facilitate attachment of sub-panels and other assemblies within the interior thereof, without obstructing the same. Each block also includes a pair of threaded or open bores extending inward from its outer mounting surface to facilitate mounting of the enclosure door or various wall panels to the enclosure solely from the exterior of the enclosure, without the need for accessing the interior thereof. The mounting blocks are arranged such that a door panel connected thereto can be easily removed with its hinges intact and reversibly remounted from the outside of the enclosure without moving or adding any additional parts. The door and various wall panels which are mounted to such blocks are also readily interchangeable, if desired, since the mounting blocks are cooperatively mounted in similar positions on both the front and rear sides of the enclosure.
