Abstract: A system holds a panel in a held position adjacent to an opening, with the opening being defined by at least a first surface. The system includes a plurality of panel docks mounted on the at least first surface about the opening, with at least two of the panel docks being positioned on substantially diametrically opposite sides of the opening. Each of the panel docks includes: a base; an intermediate portion mounted on the base and having an aperture in which securing means is positioned to secure the base to the at least first surface adjacent to the opening; and an arm extending from the intermediate portion for applying a force to a respective portion of the panel to hold the respective portion between the arm and the at least first surface. The panels are secured by the panel docks to cover the opening without the need for fasteners or securing mechanisms directly engaging the panels and without the panel docks being visible.
