How a childproofing outlet works depends on the particular type of fuse. You are welcome to take a look at our guide on the subject, there you will find a comprehensive and clear checklist that should answer all your questions.

Which child safety devices are available for the household?

In the household, you can and should install child-proof locks on cabinets, windows, sockets and drawers. Certain appliances (such as the stove) should also be secured.
