MODULITH QuickLock B - Bi-Directional (Optional)
formerly GEN2
The QuickLock for a mixed-depth join: it locks a shallower (shorter-depth) case beneath a deeper case or a deeper under-table rail, where the standard pair would keep sliding. Compress it by hand to install; it then locks in both directions. Never the reverse (a deeper case beneath a shallower one), and not for wall builds.

Works with this part
Universal across collections, for under-table mixed-depth layouts only - a shallower (shorter-depth) case hangs beneath a deeper case or a deeper under-table rail. The shallower case is always below; never reverse the depth order, and never on a wall. Tabletop cross-depth builds use Size Adapter Covers instead.
Not for wall builds - The shallower case loses wall contact and adds cantilever load. Under-table mixed-depth layouts only; use standard QuickLocks in wall-mounted layouts.
Required to use this part
Under-table mixed-depth layouts only - and the join needs both · the shallower case below AND one deeper piece above it, a case or an under-table rail. Find the lower case's collection, then open the deeper collection's cases or rails.
