The SocketSafe Twin Plug Socket Cover is a key-lockable safety cover designed to prevent children or vulnerable adults from accessing plugs, switching sockets off or unplugging important electrical equipment.

Fitted over a standard UK twin wall socket, SocketSafe encloses the connected plugs while allowing cables to exit through the cover. This makes it particularly useful for appliances and equipment that need to remain connected, including refrigerators, computers and other essential electrical devices.

The cover can be installed in just a few minutes without rewiring and can only be opened using the supplied key, helping provide controlled access in homes, schools, care settings and other shared environments.

Key Features

  • Lockable twin socket cover – restricts access to plugs and socket switches.
  • Helps prevent accidental unplugging – useful for electrical equipment that needs to remain continuously connected.
  • Key-operated access – plugs can only be accessed when the cover is unlocked by a key holder.
  • Fits standard UK twin wall sockets – designed for wall-mounted sockets and plugs up to 34mm deep.
  • Quick installation – can be fitted in under 3 minutes.
  • No rewiring required – designed to fit over an existing correctly maintained socket.
  • Durable construction – made from ABS plastic and nylon.
  • Suitable for home and care settings – useful where children or vulnerable adults may interfere with plugs or switches.

SEN Benefits

  • Helps reduce access to electrical sockets – useful for children and adults who may repeatedly touch, switch off or unplug electrical equipment.
  • Supports safer environments – provides a physical barrier over plugs and switches in areas where additional supervision or environmental safety measures are needed.
  • Helps keep essential equipment connected – useful where accidental disconnection could disrupt important appliances or equipment.
