Abstract
An apparatus for leveling and aligning wall panels. The apparatus includes upper and lower interlocking tab assemblies, each positioned on the vertical edge of each wall panel. Each tab assembly includes a pair of vertically and horizontally offset tabs, which mate with complementary tabs on an adjoining wall panel. The invention allows wall panels to be joined and aligned, and also permits adjacent panels to be pivotally oriented relative to one another about a vertical axis.
