Abstract
A plurality of adjacent, aligned, shaped hollow uniform building components, each having four separate distinct key channels are assembled together with a plurality of friction fitting locking keys to accomplish at least three separate distinct locks which become uniform whole friction fitting structural buildings upon alignment of like side surfaces or like end surfaces of uniform building components, together with friction fitting insertion and alignment of one of four separate and distinct shaped uniform bridge keys, then friction fit insertion of the primary locking keys into and through the primary key channels of adjacent and/or abutting uniform building components and uniform bridge keys, thereby rapidly achieving the primary lock and key joint, being the primary finished bonded joint and the primary lock of this invention. The second and third separate distinct locks of this invention are accomplished using corner locking keys to achieve the corner lock and/or center bore hole locking keys to achieve the center bore hole lock. The interior or exterior of a friction fitting structural building is enhanced with other components, including transverse locking keys to form a tra…
