  • Since 2008, tamper-resistant outlets have been mandatory in all new homes and renovations. Child safe outlets feature spring-loaded cover plates. While appearing just like ordinary outlets, the spring-loaded plate only opens when pressure is applied equally on both sides.

  • Despite initial concerns, using child-safe sockets is easy for adults who understand the mechanism. No special skills or physical strength are required to use these. To activate them, apply equal pressure on both sides when plugging into the socket. This action opens the cover plate, allowing it to function like a regular outlet.

  • Children's inquisitive nature might lead them to play with electrical sockets, which can be dangerous. We realize it's challenging to keep all objects away from sockets. Here are some of the most frequently inserted items children try to push into outlets:

    • Toys
    • Keys
    • Paperclips 
    • Knives
    • Nail files
    • Jewelry
    • Tools 
    • Staples
    • Hairpins

Why Update Your Home With Child Proof Outlets?

Our priority is to enhance your children's safety by installing secure child safe sockets. If the cost of these outlets worries you, they are actually quite affordable, with each outlet costing just a few dollars. This simple and affordable upgrade aligns your home with the latest safety standards while significantly increasing your family's safety. If your home doesn’t have child proof outlets or needs replacements, our team is eager to help. Not having child proof outlets exposes your children to these injuries:

Electrical Burns

These account for 95% of injuries related to electrical outlets. Children's skin, being thin, offers little protection against electrical current or heat, increasing the risk of severe injuries.

Electrical Shocks

Every day, seven children are injured by shocks received from inserting items into electrical outlets.

Serious or Fatal Injuries

Electrical injuries can be devastating, even deadly. There's no justification for taking such risks, especially when children are involved.

  • Not all child proof outlets offer equal protection. We recommend avoiding sockets that require plugs to be screwed in place. Though marketed as safe, they can pose a potential fire risk. Avoid the usage of plastic bags after installation, as they are choking hazards for toddlers. Your best decision is to trust Mr. Electric of Frisco’s qualified professionals for a quick and safe installation. We are ready to provide an estimate for your child proof outlet costs.
