Hi, just replaced built under fridge and freezer with freestanding units. The power cables run through a hole in the left hand cabinet to to a double plug and socket but the cable on the freezer is not long enough so I need to extend it. I just wondered how best to do this as there is not room to install another mains socket behind the freezer itself. Also, I don't think I can easily replace the whole flex.
Option 1: extend the cable using an inline connection box. I could maybe attach this to the underside of the side cabinet to keep it off the floor and away from any potential water leak?

Option 2: make up an extension lead with a single socket. Maybe the connection would be better via a plug and socket rather than connection terminals in option 1 above.

Maybe there is a better way. I just want it to be safe. Thanks for your help
