How about a clamp that attaches to that screw holding the faceplate.
A longer screw may be required.

  Hi list!


  I thought I would post this idea here, since I know that Dampp-chaser occasionally pipes in on these discussions. 


  One of the biggest problems of DC systems is that they occasionally get left unplugged. I tell my clients that having them unplugged for a few hours doesn't hurt anything, but if they regularly get left unplugged for extended periods, it can be worse than having no system at all. 


  I contacted Dampp-chaser a couple of years ago with a simple solution: a "system unplugged" warning light. It would just have to be a simple battery powered LED that would flash when the system is unplugged, reminding owners to plug it back in. I think it would be way more effective then the "Stop!" sticker on the plug. 


  Maybe if a few of us made this suggestion to them it could at least be offered as an optional component.
