uhhm yeah, up here in canada we also pay for kilowatt hours. watts are simply voltage times amperage and we could get into single phase vs. 3 phase but i attempted to keep things simple. not everyone is an electrician(which i am). the whole point was higher voltage=less current used=less money...

"either one of those sizes will kee you at 110v also. using less electricity." if using less electricity is something to consider, it's the amperage drawn you pay for. for example, a 110Volt unit may draw 8 amps, and a 208 Volt may draw 4, the 208 one will cost ya less money on your electricity...

thanks for the input. gives me something to ponder over

try this type of barrel latch thing on the door, or this other type just to keep pressure and hold the door closed... and finishing off with a simple cabinet lock...
