Cover/Box for Australian Power Point / Wall Outlet
Print Profile(2)
Description
** UPDATE 3 ** Both print profiles now also feature an option for rounded edges per a request I had.
** UPDATE 2 ** I have now added a second profile, that is used for vertical outlets (and possibly light switches I suppose?) due to a request. This new profile includes both the larger and thinner box.
** UPDATE 1 ** I have added a second box that doesn't protrude as far - should be suitable for regular plugs. I have used mine to cover Foxtel Cables (new pics added)
My 1 year old nephew loves unplugging and switching off various power points around the house, so I designed this inspired by some others I found online. I assume this would work on any outlet/power point in Australia (or other countries that use this style).
To install, the outlet needs to be unscrewed from the wall so that the backing plate can be hooked around it, then just screw the outlet back in to secure the plate. The box simply slides on the rails.
The overall design could probably be a bit more refined but so far it's doing the job I wanted it to.
