High quality "locking" IEC connectors?

Does anyone know of a high quality IEC connector (pure copper conductors w/plating) that actually locks into place? Something similar to the connection for a balanced interconnect? or maybe something like a twist lock connection? I'm sick of trying to prop up my power cords to ensure that they are connected securely. I've seen some lower quality connectors available but nothing with good quality copper conductors. This seems like such an obvious need in high end audio. Anybody have any ideas?

There are some solutions out there. Unfortunately most require some modifications.

I think this is similar to the IeGO:

But don't these solutions require drilling holes into the chassis to attach the screws?
