Outdoor lockable socket

[glen.mason]

Hi guys,

I know someone can point me in the right direction with this, I'm looking to put an outdoor socket to serve my drive [power washer, garden tools etc] and lockable so as not to give free electric to the street but I can't seem to track one down anywhere. Anyone help?

MK do one with a key operation no key no power. Or time guard do one with a padlock lockable front.

and the Time Guard one

Or the RCD version if the existing circuit your going to spur off doesn't have one already.

Just have a switch indoors - also isolates cable if any runs outside.

Eterna make a single and double waterproof boxes that are lockable. You can fit whatever youlike in them. £8 for the double, stick a double socket in and its only £9. Alot cheaper than other makes.

I would do this. Spur/extend off ring main and then onto the outdoor socket. When not in use, isolate the spur and problemo solved

Electric Center do the Timeguard ones.

Another vote for the switch indoors........keys will always go missing/misplaced by others.
