Product Information

Full details

This Knightsbridge Screwless socket is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of modern aesthetics and integrated charging convenience. Its primary benefit is consolidating a 13A power outlet with dual USB ports into a single, stylish unit, reducing wall clutter. A potential caveat is the shared 2.4A output across both USB ports, which may limit simultaneous fast charging for high-demand devices. Key features include a screwless low-profile metal design, black nickel finish, black insert, a 13A switched socket, and dual USB charging.

Troubleshooting

USB ports not charging devices

Ensure the main socket is switched on at the wall and check the USB cable connection. Verify that the device is compatible with 5V DC charging. The total shared output is 2.4A; if two devices are drawing power, charging may be slower.

Socket not providing power

Check that the switch on the socket is in the 'on' position. Confirm that the power to the circuit is active at the consumer unit (fuse box). Ensure all wire connections are secure.

Loose faceplate

Gently press the faceplate towards the wall to ensure it has clipped securely into place. If it continues to feel loose, re-check the mounting box and ensure it is flush with the wall surface.
