This best selling thermostat lock box is designed to prevent others from tampering with your heating levels. This can help users conserve energy, reduce heating bills and, in some cases, protect the vulnerable.
Ensuring your heating is not needlessly turned up is a great way to reduce usage and save money. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that households who turn their thermostats down by just one degree could reduce bills by up to 10%.
As such, by spending around £20 on this cover, you could save £100s if not £1000s every year.

This popular heating control cover was originally designed to prevent those with Additional needs (e.g. those on the Autistic Spectrum or those with Dementia or Alzheimer's Disease) from tampering with the heating controls or air conditioning settings. Featuring vents around the edge, this popular cover is designed to let the thermostat continue to sample the ambient temperature of the room and adjust the heating accordingly.
To install you do not have to remove the thermostat from the wall. Just drill four holes around it, insert wall plugs provided and screw the frame into position. The locking cover then just hooks on top and locks at the bottom using one of the two key provided.
Made from tough, 3mm thick polycarbonate, this cover is tough, robust and shatter proof.
4mm wide holes in the cover allow air to circulate freely to allow the thermostat to continue to function correctly

I want something with a really good lock on it? If you need something with a substantial lock, you would be best to order a medium or large thermostat cover. This comes with a conventional camlock. This is robust, reliable and very difficult to get into if you do not have the right key. The small thermostat cover unfortunately has a plastic lock that perhaps is not quite as secure.
Is this thermostat cover compatible with Hive and Nest thermostat controllers? Yes, completely compatible. It is proven to not affect or restrict the performance of any Nest or Hive thermostats in any way. Not only is this cover entirely compatible, this particular size should also fit most models.
Do I have to remove the controller before installing this locking cover? No. It is retrofittable. In plain English this means it will fit over the top of your controller or switch. Simply drill four holes around the device, insert the RAWL plugs provided into the wall and screw the frame of the cover into place. The cover then hooks into this frame and is locked down into place.
I have trunking/conduit going into my surface mounted thermostat controller? A spacer can be bought in the links shown above. This has 'pop outs' on it so wiring can pass through it. Note, the pop-outs are on the shorter sides. (Small cover not available with spacer)
When I bought your cover it was slightly larger than I was expecting!? Be warned, the dimensions shown on our pictures are the internal dimensions. We do this to ensure that when you buy the cover it will fit over your controller. If you have limited wall space you should also read the external dimensions carefully, as shown in the write up above.
Doesn't a thermostat need to sample the ambient temperature of the room in order to maintain the heat at a certain level? Absolutely, which is why the ThermoSTOP cover has vent holes all the way around the outside of the cover. These vents holes are designed to be sufficient so they do not hinder the performance of the thermostat controller. However, they are also designed so objects cannot be poked through the cover to adjust the controller settings.
Can I buy more keys? Yes - as long as we can find a record of you buying the cover from us in the first place we can provide you with more keys. However, please be prepared for a few questions as we are really keen to ensure the keys do not get into the wrong hands.
If I buy 20 covers, will all 20 keys be different? No. These products are keyed alike for exactly this reason. We do not want, say, the school caretaker having to take all 20 keys around the building with him or her. One key will open all the covers.
How easy is it to crack one of your cover? Far, far harder than you may imagine. For a start they are made of 3mm thick polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is used because it is shatter proof. The medium and large covers are also curved so an impact is dispersed across the entire surface of the cover. To give you an idea of strength, in all the years that SSP has been selling this product not once has it been damaged in transit by heavy handed couriers.
I need my thermostat cover quickly? This is a mainline product for us. If we get your order before 3pm (and often as late as 3.30pm), Monday to Friday, we will dispatch this cover on a next day delivery, signed-for courier service. Just be aware this parcel will need to be signed for so you should choose your delivery address carefully.
