Childproof Outlet Setup in Plymouth, MA
Keeping Your Kids Safe from Daily Hazards
As every parent can attest, childproofing your home goes beyond being cautious—it becomes a necessity. From stair gates to cabinet locks, families will go to great lengths to create a safer environment for their children. However, one danger often overlooked is the electrical outlets. Those tiny openings in the wall prove to be dangerously tempting for a curious toddler exploring.
We help families throughout Plymouth, MA, take the proper steps to protect their children. Our childproof outlet installations provide an added layer of security to prevent small hands from making dangerous contact with live electrical components.
What Makes an Outlet Childproof?
You’ve seen those cheap plastic outlet caps at the hardware store. They’re affordable but do very little to protect your little one; most toddlers know how to remove them, and the caps can be choking hazards. In high-traffic homes, it’s simple to unplug something and forget to replace it–and downright easy to lose a few of them behind furniture or beneath a bed.
A more secure and longer-lasting alternative is the installation of tamper-resistant outlets. These come with special safety features that render the electrical contact points not easily accessible without simultaneous application of equal pressure to both prongs, just like when inserting a real plug. It is a straightforward design, but it is challenging for children to get their fingers, toys, or any other foreign object inside the outlet.
Specific models also may have a spring-loaded interior cover or locking system to secure the outlet that must remain plugged in, but does not always remain in use. These provide peace of mind that traditional plug covers can’t offer.
