Now I understand why the other one had to be replaced!

Now I understand why the previous one had to be replaced in the house we just bought. It was broken because the lids don't lift all the way to open the outlet. If you finally force the connectors on, the covers will shatter as they were both on the one I just replaced. Not only is access to the screw for the fuse blocked by covers that are not fully transparent, making installation a nightmare!

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Operating speed

Perfect, I would buy again!

This socket cover was very easy to install (it took me literally 1 minute to remove the old one) and fits perfectly. I visited several major hardware stores and none had what I needed, so I was glad Revain had it in stock. Replacing that outlet cover was on the checklist after I bought my house and was able to do it myself, which I was happy about. This socket cover is highly recommended!

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Something else

There are better designs

I bought this wall panel to replace the one that destroyed itself. I would have bought a different type but knew this would be a quick replacement with no modifications. The last one lasted about 10 years which sounds like a long time but I feel like I'll never have to replace something like this. Why aren't they made of metal or at least with UV stabilizers. Installation is quite a hassle as you have to hold the spring loaded covers open to get the screw in. Once installed, the lids areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I really don't like it everything is fine

Just fantastic for wall plates

I went to the big stores in town to look for a replacement for the cover I had. I have to say a bit of an unusual size as it was out of stock. I went to the 3 main stores - they had the standard 1 course retail cap. So I measured it and looked it up on the internet, and boom, Revane had it. Of course they did. It's lighter and I'm interested in the durability of this socket (it looks like a durable plastic). It's in direct sunlight all day and the old one took 25 years to wear out. I wonder how

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Useless features

Difficult to install

My builder used them for outdoor work. Another reviewer here says that the lids take a lot of wear and tear when in use. I discovered this by breaking the cover while plugging the extension cord into the outlet. So enough for a builder, enough for me. I bought another one. I checked and couldn't figure out how to install this thing as the mounting screw is under the covers. My first thought is that the covers have to be removed to install. You don't! I was looking for an installation video andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
