- Stop tampering | Save £100s this winter

- Shatterproof Polycarbonate | Robust Lock | 3 Year Guarantee
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 cover is great for use in households, public buildings (like hospitals, churches and schools), care homes and some multi-occupancy buildings.
This cover can also be used to save lives, with many of our customers buying it to stop those suffering from Alzheimer's disease or dementia from turning the heating down or off.
Finally, this same cover to can be used to prevent malicious vandalism or accidental damage to your thermostat controller.
As this short video shows, this thermostat cover is incredibly tough and robust. With the screws located on the inside of the cover so the unit cannot be easily removed, this 3mm thick, shatterproof polycarbonate cover is designed to simply be fitted over the top of an existing wall mounted thermostat, controller or energy sensor.
Before fitting, we would always advise appropriate consultation should be carried out with all affected parties. We would also advise users to ensure that the heating is set at a reasonable level.

1.What made you choose to buy these products from SSP?
I work in the care industry and had seen the products on line. Sadly my father suffers from dementia and started playing with his heating controls. I therefore purchased the SSP products.
2.What did you think of the product?
Very good. Well made and easy to install.
3.What did we get right?
Well designed product, everything required in the box.
4.What could we improve?
Had to modify one product to go over a wire. But not sure how you could design that in. Thermostat radiator covers work well on new thermostat but not old ones . Maybe good to increase size range in future.
5. Is there anybody that you have dealt with that deserves a special mention in our team meeting?
No

We bought this cover because my elderly mother keeps switching off the heating controls. This was the only product we found that would serve the purpose of stopping her doing that yet being able to access the controls ourselves.
We find it a very sturdy, clear and easy to use, although it does not swing on a 'hinge' as we expected, but we have mastered putting it on and off. My husband found it straight forward to fit. The clear measurements given in the product description meant we had chosen correctly for our purpose.
It arrived the day after ordered. So we were pleased with our choice and the service. 4 out of 5 just because a hinge would be easier to access

I had to make a thermostat in our self catering house tamperproof- was able to drill 20mm hole to right hand side to allow finger in to spin temperature dial- bit fiddly, used wood bit and Stanley knife to finish, so far seems to be ok. Service was good, product is unobtrusive which was important, five stars all round as far as I am concerned.

1 although there are suppliers in northern ireland they didnt have the item in stock nor would they have or else it would have taken up to 2 months to get me one.
2 once i contacted yourselves i found the service very good. I was given answers to all the questions i had posed or contacted when the answer was found out.
3 the product is just what i needed.
4 i would rate the company 5.
5 with your knowledge of the products you supply you could make yourselves more known to the market in northern ireland and with your prompt despatch i believe you would gain customers who want what they want asap. Postage methods could be redefined also.
All in all i was very happy with the result i achieved

5/5 - my order was the one which seemed to go missing and either you or your office called as they had noticed no tracking information had come back, and the package was re-sent.
This is customer service unparalleled with most other firms with whom convincing them a package has not arrived turns into a very stressful experience for the customer!
The product itself is exactly what I was after.
Many thanks

Came through today and fitted beautifully! Thank you very much for your help!
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.
