How PlugMinder socket covers work

PlugMinder fits around the existing socket without requiring the socket or wiring to be removed. It is a lockable enclosure around the plug and socket — not a child-safety insert fitted into the socket openings. A baseplate is secured behind the socket faceplate, and the outer cover slides into position and is secured using the supplied locking tool.

Once fitted, the cover helps prevent access to the plug, socket switch and charging cable while allowing the connected appliance or charger to remain in use.

Which socket cover depth do I need?

Measure how far the plug or charger projects from the surface of the wall—not from the socket faceplate—then choose a cover with sufficient internal depth.

28 mm

For compact plugs and small chargers, including many phone chargers.

38 mm

Suitable for many standard UK plugs used with domestic appliances.

58 mm

Provides additional space for larger plugs and bulkier connections.

80 mm

Intended for deep transformer-style plugs and larger power adaptors.

Plug shape and cable position can also affect the required size. Check the full measurements before ordering.
