  • Child proof outlets resemble traditional outlets but work in a different way. They are made with spring-loaded receptacle cover plates that help protect the electrical contacts. This helps with the prevention of inserting any objects into the outlets when unequal pressure is applied. The outlets make it almost impossible to insert anything incorrectly in the outlet.

  • Operating a child proof outlet correctly is simple. It’s important to apply equal pressure on both sides of the child proof outlet when you insert a plug into the receptacle. Applying equal pressure ensures the receptacle’s cover plate opens and works like traditional outlets. We recommend visiting the Electrical Safety Foundation International’s website for a demonstration of using a child proof electrical outlet. Our service professionals will help you use the outlet when we install them in your home.

Common Dangerous Items Forced in Electrical Outlets

We understand that many young children don’t understand electrical dangers. They often force objects into the holes and suffer electrical shocks. The most common items that children force into electrical outlets include the following:

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

The Importance of Tamper Resistant Outlets

Baby proof outlet installations offer peace of mind and boost the safety of your home. Tamper resistant outlets only cost a few dollars per outlet and offer priceless benefits. Since 2008, the National Electrical Code has required that all new homes must have child proof outlets. Children risk the following without child proof outlets in a home:

  • Electrical shocks – About 2,400 children are injured yearly by inserting foreign objects into traditional electrical outlets.
  • Electrical burns – 95 percent of injuries from an electrical outlet produce electrical burns. Electrical burns range in severity, and the thin skin of a young child doesn’t have much resistance to electrical flow.
  • Serious or Fatal Injuries – We can help you prevent serious or fatal injuries from electrical injuries
Helping Keep Your Family Safe
It’s critical to avoid any outlet product that requires you to screw the plugs into place. This type of outlet is convenient, but it presents a fire hazard. We advise against the use of plastic plugs because they present a choking hazard to small children. The installation of child proof outlets is enough to protect children from electrical shock, so plastic plugs are not needed.
Child Proof Outlet Installation Cost
We offer estimates on our child proof installation services before performing the installation of your outlets. The cost varies depending on how many outlets you need and other factors. The peace of mind that child proof outlets give guardians is priceless. Young children often try to mimic what adults do, so they will force something into a plug, wondering what happens. They don’t understand the power of electricity. Our child proof outlet installation services help keep them safe around the outlets in your home.

  • Mr. Electric of Paulding County installs outlets that help protect your home and the people in it. We offer in-home estimates and honest pricing on our electrical service.

    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.
