I am considering moving some walls about in my kitchen, part of which will end up with my fridge being 3 feet nearer my sofa.
In order to power the fridge I will be extending the ring to a new outlet. I can either put the outlet behind the fridge, which will mean to defrost I will have to pull the fridge out (not good as it is a big one) or I can put it in a cupboard next to the fridge (accessible after pulling a few things out).
I am thinking the second option is best, however I am concerned about the outlet being switched off by accident when I shove my ironing board into it, for example. So, I will be building some kind of wooden box that will be hinged to cover the outlet and protect against accidental switching off. But then I thought "Perhaps there are outlets with a cover on already!". All I can find is exterior ones, which isn't ideal. Is anyone aware of FCUs or sockets with a cover to prevent accidental switching?
