John, thats exactly what i was thinking about doing. cutting a hole in the front to allow access. I have seen these before but maybe that is what they done also. I have a customer that has a "community center" that they use for meetings. They want the "community" to be able to adjust as they are there but it still go back down at set time and such. I think this is the most economical thing to do aside from changing thermostats. Thanks for all the comments.
