Security panel framing system and method

1. A method of installing a security panel on a frame for a glass, using a security panel framing system comprising:

a base having:

a base frame having a base frame front side, a base frame back side, a base frame top side, and a base frame bottom side;

a base plate under the base frame bottom side and extending past the base frame front side, the base plate having a base plate front side, a base plate back side, a base plate top side, a base plate bottom side, and a stopper at the base plate front side;

a plurality of legs along and extending downwards from the base plate bottom side, such that a plurality of spaces is formed between the legs, wherein a first leg of the plurality of legs is substantially aligned with the stopper, and wherein at least one space of the plurality of spaces is larger than the other spaces of the plurality of spaces;

a hollow inner channel defined by the base frame front side, the base frame back side, the base frame top side, and the base frame bottom side;

a wedge having:

a wedge front side, a wedge back side, a wedge top side, and a wedge bottom side;

a wedge wall extending between the wedge top side and the wedge bottom side;

an upper wedge lip at the wedge top side;

a reinforced end at the wedge bottom side;

a lower wedge lip above the reinforced end;

wherein the reinforced end and the bottom wedge lip are configured to fit around and be held in place by the stopper; and

a cap configured to be associated with the wedge, wherein the cap covers a front end of the security panel framing system; and

wherein the wedge is configured to sit at the base plate front side leaving a gap between the wedge back side and the base frame front side, the gap being configured to receive a portion of a security panel, such that the portion of the security panel is snugly encased by the base frame and the wedge; the method comprising the steps of:

measuring the frame for a glass to obtain a first length;

associating the base, the wedge, and the cap together into a unit;

cutting the base, the wedge, and the cap such that a length of the unit matches the first length;

applying the sealant to the base plate bottom side;

securing the base to the frame for a glass;

providing a security panel sized to fit the frame for a glass;

holding the security panel in place on top of the base plate and against the base frame;

placing the wedge;

holding the cap against the wedge; and

pushing a force on the cap to associate the cap with the wedge.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of repeating the applying step and the securing step such that a second base is installed on an opposite end of the security panel framing system; and further comprising the step of repeating the holding the security panel step, the placing step, the holding the cap step, and the pushing step.

3. The method of claim 1 , the security panel framing system further comprising a first plurality of screws, and a second plurality of screws, the method further comprising the steps of:

installing the first plurality of screws through the base plate and into the frame for a glass; and

installing the second plurality of screws through the wedge wall and into the security panel.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cap comprises a plurality of prongs; and wherein after the holding the cap against the wedge step, a portion of the cap contacts a front side of the first leg, and an end of a top prong of the plurality of prongs contacts the security panel; the method further comprising the steps of:

applying a first silicone bead to the front side of the first leg; and

applying a second silicone bead to the end of the top prong.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step adding a desiccant into the hollow inner channel.
