 Excellent, but check your screws Aug 12, 2007
By G. Pasternack
This products works exactly as expected. There is one potential problem. before you buy, make sure you unscrew your existing plate and measure the length of the screw. It should be at least 9/16", or else when you put on this plate the screw won't reach the threading. I found that some screws in my house were long enough and some too short, so I had to go to the hardware store and buy a set of extra screws to use these. Otherwise, the product is great.

must-have for baby-proofing Jan 24, 2009
By Stefan Dekok

This product is a must-have if you need to baby-proof a house. Much more convenient than the simple plastic plugs you can stick in outlets. You can plug and unplug as needed without needing a screwdriver to remove stuck plugs. The spring loaded mechanism is pretty tight making it very hard for an inventive and strong toddler to slide the cover aside. Even if the toddler is capable of that, it would not leave a free hand to actually stick anything in at the same time. With the cover on it is impossible to stick anything in.
To install, just replace the face plate of the outlets with these. They cover the original outlets, so no rewiring is needed. Screws are supplied in case the original screws are too short to accommodate the slightly thicker plates.
There are some flimsy competitive products out there. So I made sure to get sturdy ones. These are pretty sturdy, allowing you to screw them on real tight without cracking or even bending them.

Best Outlet Cover Out There! Jan 09, 2007
By M. Johnson
Easy to install and covers the outlet entirely. Other safety faceplates I tried never covered the outlet completely and my son could stick a straightened paper clip through. Not this one! They are very easy to use for an adult as well. :)

 Genius! Apr 20, 2008
By Maty

We love these for so many reasons. We did a lot of research on what to get and they were recommended by Consumer Reports, and we see why. We don't have to worry about little plug covers that are choking hazards or get lost when you are using the plug. And if little one pulls a cord out of the outlet, these snap shut immediately and there is no danger. We also don't have to worry about forgetting to replace the plug covers. I read a review somewhere that they didn't come with screws, and I was thinking I would have to go to the hardware store to get screws, but ours came with screws and were just perfect. They are slightly smaller than the old covers which is unfortunate if you have to do some touch up, but overall they are fabulous! I'm going to have to look for some Decora ones for the few GFI outlets we have, but I've seen those online too.

These are awesome Jun 20, 2007
By J. Pyatt
This is my favorite outlet cover. I wish they were a little cheaper, but they can be used for a long time. The "Thermal Gasket", a foam ring installed behind the outlet cover, is a nice feature, not only are you making your house safer, but you are saving energy too.
They come in white including the screw; other brand/types seem to only come in a alabaster/ecru color. I used to be able to find similar horizontal plates at a local baby store, but now I am unable; this is a great place to order them.
They work well, DC adaptors fit in them, they seem reliable when opening and closing, and are not too obtrusive. The big advantage of this type of outlet cover is that you will not forget to plug back in the safety plug.
