  • Enhanced Safety for Children

    The primary benefit is obvious—preventing electrical injuries. With tamper-resistant outlets in place, you reduce the risk of burns, shocks, or more severe electrical accidents involving your children.

    Code Compliance

    As of the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC) update, tamper-resistant outlets are now required in new residential constructions. Installing them can help bring your older home up to modern code standards, especially if you're remodeling or preparing for a home inspection.

    No Need for Outlet Covers

    Forget constantly replacing outlet caps or covers that can be easily removed or become choking hazards. Child proof outlets are built-in solutions that don’t require any extra accessories or maintenance.

    Long-Term Protection

    Unlike plastic caps that may wear out, crack, or become lost, child proof outlets offer permanent, long-term protection that doesn’t fade over time. Once installed, they are always working to keep your little ones safe.

  • Young children are naturally curious. As they begin to crawl or walk, they explore their environment in ways that can lead them into dangerous situations—especially around unprotected electrical outlets. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), approximately 2,400 children each year suffer severe shock or burns from inserting objects into outlets.

    Traditional plastic outlet covers may seem like a quick fix, but they are often misplaced, removed by children, or forgotten altogether. The safest and most reliable solution? Tamper-resistant outlets—commonly known as child proof outlets.

  • While it’s smart to install tamper-resistant outlets throughout your entire home, it’s especially important in areas where children spend the most time:

    • Bedrooms and nurseries
    • Living rooms and family rooms
    • Kitchens and dining areas
    • Hallways and stairwells
    • Playrooms and finished basements

    If you have outlets near the floor, especially those within easy reach of young children, we highly recommend upgrading them with TRRs.
