ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for an electrical outlet is made up of a cover plate attachable to the existing receptacle plate and includes an opening aligned over each outlet in the plate and a unitary cap which is hinged to the cover along one side of each opening. The cap is movable into snap-fit engagement with a catch so as to serve as a protective cover over the outlet to prevent tampering and protect it from the elements. A latch release mechanism internally of the cap minimizes the risk of opening by infants as well as making it weatherproof.
