Socket security. Cable retention. Everyday peace of mind.
What is PlugMinder?
PlugMinder is a smart socket cover system designed to keep plugs connected, switches protected and charging cables exactly where they should be.
Its hinged cover and built-in locking mechanism help prevent unwanted access to sockets and plugs, reducing the risk of power being switched off, plugs being removed, or cables going missing.
Designed for homes, nurseries, schools, offices and care environments, PlugMinder keeps essential power connections secure, organised and always ready for use.
Designed around three core functions
-
Secure locking
Built-in locking and closure features help prevent unwanted access to socket switches, plugs and connected adaptors.
-
Secure fixing
A 3-screw baseplate fixing system helps keep PlugMinder firmly and securely installed in place.
-
Flexible fit
Multiple depths, cable hooks and removable inserts help accommodate a wide range of plugs, adaptors and charging cables.
PlugMinder Functionality
Centre locking mechanism
All PlugMinder variants feature a simple but effective centre locking mechanism, with the exception of Blanking Covers where a lock is not required.
Each cover is operated using a dedicated PlugMinder key. Two keys are supplied with every cover, attached to a metal ring so they can easily be added to your keyring or kept somewhere convenient.
The locking mechanism rotates through 180 degrees to lock and unlock the cover securely. A small viewing window above the lock provides an instant visual status indicator: green shows the cover is unlocked, while red confirms it is locked.
The key design helps prevent the lock from being operated by everyday tools, while the internal cam action provides a reassuring click when opening and closing.
3-screw baseplate fixing system
PlugMinder uses a dedicated 3-screw baseplate fixing system to create a firm, secure installation around the socket. By spreading the fixing points across the baseplate, the cover is held more reliably in position, helping provide a stronger and more stable fit. Each screw is operated using the custom PlugMinder key that also operates the locking mechanism, helping deter casual tampering and unwanted removal.
Removable cable exit inserts
PlugMinder’s removable cable exit inserts provide added flexibility for bulkier moulded plug cables. When a larger plug or cable requires more clearance than the standard exit opening allows, the insert can be removed to create extra space while maintaining a clean, secure fit around the connected plug.
Charging cable retaining hook
PlugMinder’s built-in cable retaining hook helps keep charging cables securely in place once the cover is installed. By trapping the cable between the baseplate and outer cover, it helps prevent leads from being removed, misplaced or taken elsewhere, keeping charging points ready for use whenever they are needed.
Available in multiple depths
Our standard PlugMinder models are available in a range of depths — 28mm, 38mm, 58mm and 80mm — to suit different plug and adaptor sizes, from compact USB chargers to larger plug transformers. This helps you choose the right cover for the space needed around your connected plugs, while keeping the installation neat and secure.
Available for different setups
PlugMinder is available in a range of cover types, including Double, Single, Double Full-Face, Fused-Spur, Oversized, Adaptor and Blanking Covers. This helps you choose the right solution for different socket layouts, plug sizes and adaptor configurations, while keeping the installation neat, secure and purpose-fit.
