Where I used to work in Ohio, the Poco sealed with wire seals, clipping these for service work was no big deal. You would call and report and they would reseal.
Now where I am in the boonies of New Mexico the Poco is a small Coop that services a huge area with a crew of about 4 guys. There is no dispatch to call, the emergency number rings the one guy that is on call at his home. They would have my head if I ground off one of the locks. The customer service is terrible, that's why I started this thread, Just looking for alternatives for those infrequent emergencies.
