Safety Innovations Self-Closing Outlet Covers, 1-Screw

$17.954 options, $14.95 to $34.95

A wall plate with sliding shutters. Pull a plug out and the shutters close by themselves, so there is no cap to lose and none for a toddler to chew.

Color and Pack: White, 6-pack

Fits: Standard duplex outlets with one center screw

  • Closes itself. The shutters spring shut the moment a plug comes out.
  • One center screw. Replaces a standard duplex plate held by a single screw.
  • 3 x 4 3/4 inches. Slightly oversized, which hides worn paint around an old plate.
  • Three colors. White in 6 or 12, Beige and Espresso in 6.

Details

Low outlets in a hallway or behind the sofa are the ones a crawling baby finds first. This plate takes the place of your standard cover and holds with the same single center screw, so the swap takes a screwdriver and a few minutes. Switch the breaker off before you start.

Pull a plug out and the shutters slide back over the slots on their own. There is no cap to put back and none to end up in a mouth. The plate runs a little larger than a builder-grade cover, which hides the worn paint ring an old plate often leaves.

If the Self-Closing Outlet Covers, 1-Screw is close but not quite it, the outlet & switch covers page has 4 more products from the Safety Innovations childproofing line.
