FAQs
Is this socket compatible with standard UK back boxes?
Yes, it is designed to fit standard UK wall mounting boxes, though we recommend a depth of at least 25mm-35mm.
Can I install this myself?
Electrical installations should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance.
Does this socket come with screws?
Yes, the product includes the necessary screws for standard wall mounting.
How do I keep the silver finish looking new?
Wipe down with a dry microfiber cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh household chemicals or sponges.
Are the switches independently operated?
Yes, the double socket features two individual switches to control each outlet separately.
What is the maximum amperage?
The socket is rated for a maximum of 13 Amps, suitable for standard UK domestic power requirements.
Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose against the wall
Check the mounting screws to ensure they are fully tightened into the back box lugs.
Appliance not receiving power
Ensure the individual switch for that specific socket is in the 'on' position and check the appliance plug fuse.
Switch is stiff to operate
Ensure the faceplate is perfectly level; if tightened unevenly, the internal mechanism can bind.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations. Before installation, confirm that the existing wall mounting box is of an appropriate depth, as the Windsor 2G design may have a slightly larger rear profile than older, standard white sockets. For cleaning and maintenance, use a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as these can strip or dull the specialized silver finish of the faceplate. Periodically check that the mounting screws remain tight to ensure the unit stays firmly against the wall.
