Default Masonite panel construction

Bill Stock wrote:
There's a Masonite wall in the Workshop that separates it from the storage
space next door. I'd like to put the dust collection for the shop in the
storage space, which means putting the venting through the wall. I will
eventually want to replace the panel if/when I sell. But I don't know how
the panels are attached to the metal studs, as there are no visible fastners
on the panels, just some brushed aluminum strips between panels. I don't
know if the metal strips are glued, screwed or snapped to the panels or what
holds the panels to the steel studs?

Any hints would be appreciated.


My guess would be that the aluminum strips are H channel and that the
masonite is glued to the studs. The strips will probably by screwed in
place if they are attached and I will bet that they are.
