Hi, i need to make a custom enclosure for some Danner format modules and can't figure out the locking mechanism.

Anybody can post a close-up picture of the casing where it is suposed to lock?  If anybody can explain it? 

I have a module but i can't figure out how the little screw and little square nut is supposed to lock. All i see from the few online pictures is a slot, i don't get how ut is supposed to lock.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Here's a pic of the slot on a rack:

Here's a close-up of the locking mechanism's screw and nut:http://www.gearslut.net/dannermount.jpg

Thanks.

Looks like the kind where the screw drives a locking tab which retracts (turns inwards) when the screw is loosened, and turns outwards (to lock) when the screw is tightened. Thus the module must be inserted with the tab retracted, the unit inserted, then the screw tightened to pull the tab up tight against the back surface of the latch plate ('slot' in your first pic) 8>]
