Product Information

If you’d rather not spend money on a light switch protector, you can make yours at home. Here are the steps to make your DIY light switch cover: Take out the screws from the switch plate with the screwdriver. However, you don’t have to remove the switch plate, as it should be on the light switch. You also need to retain the screws. Don’t throw away the screws on the light switch, as you’re likely to use them later when you uninstall the light switch cover in the future when you no longer need the child-proofing.

Move your bookshelf. You can also use your bookshelf to cover the switch. Draw it towards the switch, leaving enough space for your fingers to slide in, and turn the switch on or off when you need it. To make the switches inaccessible, you can either make the circuit breaker disconnected by turning them off or test them to make sure they are not receiving any juice. Once you’ve made sure that there is no power, you can get creative with your childproofing by using tape, extra screws, and positioning just about anything else to ensure that nothing here is accessible while power flows through it. Keep the child busy. What other toys do they love to play with? Can you get them outdoors a bit more? If the child is getting enough playtime and has other toys to stay busy with, you may not have to spend too much time chasing them away from the light switch.
