Abstract

A methods for mounting, opening, closing and releasing a door assembly relative to a mounting structure employ a first structure that defines at least one elongated guide channel and a latching subassembly that is adapted to be mounted with respect to the foregoing guide channel and to rotate with respect thereto. Rotation of the latching subassembly with respect to the guide channel allows a latching region, e.g., a V-shaped latching region, to move between a first position (wherein the latching region is adapted to receive the mounting structure) and a second position (wherein the latching region cannot receive the mounting structure). In the second position, the latching region (in combination with the guide channel) is structured to capture the mounting structure (e.g., a projection associated with a cable management system) therewithin.
