This makes this cover great for preventing those with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, special needs and children from tampering with dangerous plug sockets and switches.

This popular locking socket cover serves a number of purposes:

It is primarily designed to prevent any unauthorised or perhaps infirmed person from tampering with electrical sockets and plugs
It can also ensure essential appliances are not removed or stolen
It has been proven to protect sockets from vandalism and accidental damage
Finally, some customers use this to control costs by preventing unauthorised people using their electricity

This robust cover is constructed from toughened, 3mm thick, shatter-proof polycarbonate, and has a strong, vandal-proof camlock
This cover is clear so you can see what is plugged in and if the switch is on or off.
It comes with suitable fixings so can simply attach it over the top of your existing plug sockets. No electrician needed.
When attaching this cover, ensure that the plug you want to use is already in place, as to release them you will need to remove the whole cover from the wall.

Past Customers of this cover:

Vulnerable children & adults in the home
This cover provides huge relief to carers with vulnerable people living at home. Here are some of the scenarios we have been told about by our customers:

Stopping a child or adult with additional needs flicking switches repeatedly, or poking dangerous items into sockets, putting themselves at risk
Preventing a vulnerable person accessing dangerous equipment like kettles, cookers and hobs in-between supervision or carer's visits.
Preventing an elderly person unplugging equipment like the wifi
Each cover comes with two keys. If you order more than one cover at the same time, these will be keyed alike, so one key will open all the covers you buy. Extra keys can be purchased and keyed alike if ordered at the same time.

Schools and Additional needs settings

Many additional need schools choose this product following risk assessments to prevent children from injuring themselves and others.
It can prevent disruption in the class with equipment being turned off during lesson.
It can also stop children repeatedly flicking socket switches or lights, perhaps due to sensory processing disorder.
It prevents vulnerable children putting dangerous items into sockets.

Care Homes & Hospitals
Whilst it has all of the benefits listed above to a vulnerable person, this cover has the added benefit of protecting sockets from being damaged by mobile trolleys, equipment and beds. This cover can also be used to stop vital equipment being unplugged.

Police & Prisons
Protects switches and prevents equipment being unplugged and vandalised, or even used in violence towards staff, themselves or others.

Public Spaces
Prevents equipment being unplugged or tampered with by unauthorised people in places such as shopping centres, offices and airports. This could also be used to lock-out sockets, to prevent them being used for unauthorised equipment.

Will this product work for me?
This cover is designed to fit over any double electrical socket that is either wall mounted or set within the wall. It is however worth checking the external dimensions of the cover (below) to make sure you have enough wall space around your socket.

If the cover can be accommodated on your wall and you do not need to change the plug for the foreseeable future, this product offers you a way of permanently locking your plug in place.

This cover has an optional hole at the top and bottom of it. This means it will work with surface mounted sockets with conduit wires going into the top or bottom of it. If the holes are not required, they can be easily and securely filled with the toughened blanking tabs provided.

What if I want a cover where plugs may need to be changed over time?
If you can foresee a time when you will need to change your plugs (eg, from a microwave to a toaster), you may be better considering using SSP-16485. This product has a small hole in the curved section of the cover, so it can be unlocked and plugs easily changed without removing the whole unit itself.
