Electrical - plug lock?
Does anyone make some kind of listed lock or strap to keep plugs from being removed from receptacles? For example sump pumps etc.
I know there's twist lock plugs but id rather not get into cutting off molded plugs to add a different plug on a cord.

Not allowed……code
Hard wire makes it difficult.

It is the disconnecting means. I'd go with the twistloc.
David's concerns are bout cheap hardware store plugs on zip cord. The type of clamp and termination that a twistloc plug uses makes it very unlikely that the cord would pull out of the plug.

Although if you put a switch before the receptacle that I think would solve the disconnecting means part.

No man it's me, Dave.
I didn't look at your link but I already know where it's going. :)

You could put this type of cover on it and loop the cord in such a way that it tends to pull the plug in rather than out under the cover:

You can get a lockable in-use cover:

What @hot_rod posted should work if it is listed but I would put a switch in front of it. Or a twist lock.

I bet it is not listed for obvious reasons. It also says contact us for chargers not shown here which would imply they definitely didn't put it through the listing process.
I strongly suspect that they are completely oblivious to the fact that it needs to be listed.
