Alberton Childproof Electrical Plugs

Children like to explore. They may push keys, pins, clips, or other small items into an open wall plug. This can cause a bad electric shock or a serious burn.

Make Your Wall Plugs Safer for Children
Normal wall plugs can be a risk for small children. Plug points are often close to the floor. This makes them easy for a young child to reach. Childproof electrical plugs look much like normal wall plugs. The main change is found inside the plug. A safety cover helps block the live holes when the plug is not in use.
The correct action is needed before a plug can be pushed in. An adult can still use the plug with ease. A child will find it much harder to place one small item into an open hole.
These plugs can be used in many parts of your home, such as: Bedrooms. Lounges. Playrooms. Kitchens. Home offices. Passageways. Garages. Flats and cottages. Our service forms part of the residential electrical services offered by Electrician Alberton.

Are Plastic Plug Covers Enough?
Loose plastic plug covers may help in some homes. However, they can be removed, lost, or placed back the wrong way. Some children may also learn how to pull them out.

Where Should Childproof Plugs Be Installed?
Start with the rooms where your child spends the most time. Pay close attention to plugs that are near the floor, behind light furniture, or next to a bed. You should also check plugs hidden behind a couch, table, bed, or TV unit. Children often crawl into spaces that adults do not notice. Important areas include:
