Zusammenfassung:Disclosure is provided of a connector system and a method of assembling a plurality of modular units. A first connector is configured for attachment to a corner of a first modular unit, the first connector comprising a vertically extending retention clip and an alignment slot. A second connector is configured for attachment to a corner of a second modular unit, vertically adjacent to the corner of the first modular unit, the second modular unit comprising a retention tab. A third connector is configured for attachment to a corner of a third modular unit, laterally adjacent to the corner of the first modular unit, the third modular unit comprising an alignment peg. The retention tab is configured for vertical insertion within a gap formed between the retention clip and a front wall of the first modular unit to restrict vertical movement of the first modular unit relative to the second modular unit. The alignment peg is configured for insertion within the alignment slot to restrict lateral movement of the first modular unit relative to the third modular unit. Relative movement between the first, second, and third module units is prevented by respective engagements between the first, second, and third connectors.
