Need a heavy duty receptacle

What AC wall receptacle are you using to plug your heavy AC power cords in. My power cords keep backing out from the weight.

A good electrical supply will carry a selection. I used 3-20amp "twist locks" to power my rack of gear. I have them floor mounted, It weighs about 400lbs and doesn't get moved often, but I sure don't want them coming out without my knowing . . .

I love amplifiers and vintage gear so mono-blocks and bi-amping leaves me with a load of power cords that can be tweaked. They tend to be spendy purchased so I make them with off the shelf parts. These guys take it a bit farther than I do but what the hay? http://www.carveraudio.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=11564&start=0 Same electric supply should have "safety cable" that will hold plugs into outlets. I have seen theses in pro audio applications.
