Newer construction

Child Proof Outlets in Oakland Township: FAQ

It is a receptacle with internal shutters that stay closed unless both plug prongs enter at once. It blocks objects pushed into a single slot, which plug caps cannot do reliably.
Plug caps help a little, but children can remove them and they get left out. Tamper-resistant outlets protect every slot all the time.
Like-for-like replacement of receptacles is minor repair and generally does not need a permit. Adding new outlets or circuits does.
