1. A fastening system for use with a modular panel assembly comprising at least two panels, the fastening assembly comprising:
one or more securing apertures formed through a thickness of a first panel; and one or more engaging projections disposed on and projecting outwardly from a second panel, each one of the engaging projections being sized and positioned to be engageable with a corresponding one of the securing apertures on the first panel, at least one of the engaging projections comprising a notch defined between a leading edge of the engaging projection and the second panel, the notch engaging with the corresponding one of the securing apertures when the panels are in a secured position, and at least one of the engaging projections being sized and dimensioned to overlap with the corresponding one of the securing apertures when the first and second panels are in the secured position so that a leading edge of the engaging projection extends over a portion of the body of the first panel in a plane parallel to the body of the first panel.
