13a plug locking bracket

[telectrix]

I only want it to be inconvenient to remove, not impossible

with all due respect, it's obvious that you're not an electrician, as you can spell "inconvenient" correctly. :ack2:

Smear the plug top with axle grease ?

What's the actual situation here? Why do you think you want something that is inconvenient but not impossible to unplug?

 

[telectrix]

probably to stop his ankle snappers from dissing his PC.

I fail to see the point of these "inventions",when suitable instruction or labeling should suffice.

If such a device prevented the removal and switching,of a socket outlet connected piece of equipment,then the very first line of advice,on encountering a person suspected of receiving an electric shock,will be impossible to complete.

This "victim",will in all probability,be the very type of person, either incapable or unwilling,to understand instruction or assess risk.

...Or is this the perfect time,to market my "air-bag protection" helmets? :bobby:

I've just bought a Dyson tower fan for a meeting room, and if it is easy to remove I know someone will come in and nab it for another part of the building

So why exactly can't it be hardwired? (Or bolted to the floor or whatever.)

A quick googlesearch reveals this, or you could get a socket put in a lockable cupboard or plug it into a floorbox and put a filing cabinet over the edge, but as others say you may need to disconnect it in an emergency.
You could fit a non-standard plug and socket so it can't be plugged in anywhere else, or my favourite options are to lock the meeting room when it's not being used and/or threaten people with disciplinary action if they misappropriate the fancy fan. Maybe tell them there's CCTV in the room. Maybe even fit a dummy CCTV camera.

or fit a dummy fan and cctv to watch the look on their faces when they try and get it working. :troll:
