Talked to an old electrician yesterday about panel tamper setups
Guy has been wiring alarms since the 80s. He told me he never uses those plastic panel tamper brackets because they break off after a few years. Said he just drills a small hole and uses a short screw with a nut on the backside. Never thought about doing it that way but it makes sense for a solid mechanical connection. Anyone else run into bad tamper bracket designs on newer panels?

Dude you tried that trick with a self-tapping screw? Worked way better for me.

Wait @davidwright, isn't a self-tapping screw supposed to cut its own threads, not a trick?
