What have some of you done to keep kids' hands away from the power posts in
the back of a power supply short of being locked in a room ?

HI, I have an old 50 amp supply that I use. The AC posts were exposed
so I
found a soft plastic box and mounted it over the posts. Now you can't
get any fingers
on them!

Locked room is a good idea. In the old days, an odd receptical high on the
wall inside the door was often used as an interlock for shop power. The
mating plug being locked in a drawer while away. A locking sub-panel high
on the outside wall? A lock on the door is still cheaper...
