Child-Proof Outlet Installation

Keep your little ones safe with child-proof outlets installed by Mr Electric®. Outlets a decade old or older are likely, not child-proof, leaving your family exposed to electrical hazards. Tamper-resistant outlets (TRO) help prevent dangerous shocks by blocking access to the electrical contacts while allowing the outlets to be fully functional. Let Mr. Electric help you create a child-friendly space while maintaining the reliability of your electrical system with our child-proof outlet installation services.

  • Unlike regular outlets, child-proof outlets or tamper-resistant outlets have a spring-loaded shutter system that blocks access to the outlet's internal components unless both prongs are inserted simultaneously. This design makes it more difficult for children to insert foreign objects and become injured.

  • In new homes or when you’re upgrading your home, tamper-resistant outlets may be required by code to significantly reduce the risk of accidental electric shocks.

  • Regular outlets require constant monitoring and the use of additional products like outlet covers, which can be inconvenient.

  • Child-proof outlets are designed to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging without compromising the safety of the shutters.

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
