A Simple Energy Saving Device

There are many energy saving products that are available for controlling electricity usage and lockable sockets are one such example installed by Mr Electric electricians. They are a good application for commercial premises and in particular public areas such as a hotel receptions. The sockets are installed by approved electricians to restrict their use to authorised personnel only or for specific requirements. Energy Saving Lockable Sockets are part of an array of Energy Saving Electrical Installations provided by our electricians.

Some good examples of places where they could be installed for commercial applications include:

• Cleaners' supplies
• Children’s rides or amusement areas in shopping centres
• Sockets used only for use at certain times, such multistory car parks.
• Locations where the use of power should be restricted such as hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, laboratories and so on.

Our electricians are trained to provide you with further in depth information on the suitable applications for lockable sockets. The commercial premises listed above are just a selection of commercial premises where they are suitable. They are being extensively installed by electricians in a variety of applications so request an energy saving installation.

Domestic, Residential & Commercial Uses

While the lockable sockets are suitable for commercial applications they could be installed by a Mr Electric electrician in a domestic or residential setting to prevent misuse of the power in a home. For example, parents may wish to reduce the power used by their children or stop power in certain rooms of the house to save energy. For an application like this an electrician could install a lockable socket as a replacement for a normal 2 gang socket.

Lockable Socket Options

Our electricians will discuss the 3 main lockable socket options available including the following:

• An electrical installation where all the sockets have the same key. One key will fit all sockets that have been installed by the electrican and are ideal for use by maintenance personnel, cleaners or a group of employees needing to do similar tasks.
• Lockable sockets, with each socket having its own unique key. This form of lockable socket is good for use in retail locations and relevant situations where the user of the socket is restricted to one user.
• Lockable sockets installed by electricians known as 'Key lock on' sockets, which you must turn off before removing the key. This provides an opportunity to make sure the power is not accidentally left on.

Ranges Available

Like many standard sockets available, lockable sockets can be installed by electricians in a range of finishes. The Mr Electric electrican will show you information on the options available through the use of our Menu Price Guide. The lockable sockets are available in all metal plate finishes including stainless steel, polished chrome, antique copper, metallic grey, polished brass, white, brass satin, silver and antique bronze. Lockable sockets are designed specifically for installation by a qualified electrican in a 35mm deep 2 gang box.

Lockable sockets are a good energy saving option for residential and commercial properties. One of our experienced electricians will be able to provide you with all the information you need so please contact us today and request an energy saving installation.
