  • Our child-proof outlets offer superior protection against shocks and burns for your young ones. Visually, these outlets are indistinguishable from standard wall outlets. The difference lies in their design. Our child-proof outlets employ spring-loaded receptacle cover plates that act as a barrier, preventing children from accessing the electrical currents. These innovative cover plates disallow the insertion of foreign objects into the outlets by exerting unequal pressure on the contact points. Installing a childproof outlet is not a DIY project. It requires professional expertise to ensure optimal safety for your children. Trust our knowledgeable team to provide reliable installation services for your peace of mind.

  • Adults who understand proper outlet operation should encounter no difficulties operating childproof outlets. No special knowledge or strength is required to utilize these new and improved child-proof outlets. To use the outlets, simply apply equal pressure on both sides while inserting a plug into the receptacle. This equal pressure allows the cover plate to open, enabling the outlet to function like a standard one. For a virtual demonstration, feel free to visit the Electrical Safety Foundation International website or consult our friendly team members for assistance.

  • Not all child-proof outlets are created equal. We strongly advise against using child-proof electrical outlets that necessitate screwing plugs into place. While these outlets may be marketed as safe, they can pose a fire hazard. We do not advise using plastic bags after installing outlets, as these bags can be a choking hazard for small children.
