Scolmore’s innovative new Locating Plug Sockets and Wide Rocker Switches, both targeted at the growing assisted living sector, are now available in visually contrasting versions to meet with Part M regulations.

Design and features

Designed to assist people with impaired vision or poor hand-to-eye coordination to more easily insert a plug into a socket, the Mode Part M Locating Plug Socket features a contoured front plate that guides the earth pin into position.

The product is available in one and two-gang options, with the two-gang version featuring outboard rockers to further assist with distinguishing between switches, making it less likely to switch the wrong one.

Suitable option for installation

The Part M Wide Rocker Switches have ease of use as their main benefit making them the ideal choice for assisted living installations and to aid with Part M compliance. There are three versions available – 1-gang, 2-gang, and 3-gang – all offering concealed screws for improved aesthetics.

As part of Scolmore’s Mode wiring accessories range, both products benefit from the standard features inherent with the Mode range - anti-microbial properties and a 20-year guarantee.
