Safety & Little fingers, 8 July 2008

This easy to fit product, was fitted in a couple of minutes, just loosen the two screws on your wall socket and slide the socketsafe into place, fit the bottom part and tighten the two screws back up, close the lid and that's it. SEE ITS EASY!The only thing to be aware of is this product has been designed for the standard UK 13 AMP plug so the unit can be closed. Bigger plugs like on some mobile phone chargers can still use the socket point but the socketsafe's lid wont close.

Excellent Simple Product, 7 Jan. 2011

I purchased this product to stop my 1 year old pulling the plugs out of a socket that hosted my telephone and Internet router. The previous distraction method of placing a cushion in front of the socket was failing dismally!I read the product reviews on Amazon and noted the comments about the key breaking after a while. However the version shipped to me doesn't require a key, it has a plastic push button on either side of the unit which you press ahead of lifting the covering flap up. Clearly the manufacturer has listened to customer feedback and modified the design accordingly for the better.Fitting was simplicity itself. Instructions were included but I only needed a cursory read as it was so straight forward and ready to go within 5 minutes. The unit looks pretty reasonable, simple clean design and overall I can't fault it. My son will have to find something else to get up to mischief with now.

Fine, but the key breaks !, 25 Mar. 2010

I bought two of them about seven years ago. I was very pleased with them, and they served the function for which I needed them.Unfortunately the key is very flimsy, and both keys are now broken, so I can't open the covers.Sledgehammer time, methinks....Later:-My nephew has managed to open it.There is apparently also a problem with the lockable designs in that the Health and Safety people considered them to be a possible safety hazard in that in the event of the "keyholder" going home to lunch and a fault developing in the "unit" being powered,there is no way of switching everthing off. Perhaps this is why it is no longer available.
