Outdoor Outlet Cover 2-Gang Lockable Weatherproof Electrical Outlet Cover

Outdoor Outlet Cover — 2-Gang Lockable Weatherproof Electrical Outlet Cover

Protect outdoor power points from rain, dust, and tampering with a 2-gang lockable weatherproof outlet cover engineered for year-round reliability. Designed to shield two side-by-side receptacles, this rugged in-use cover keeps plugs connected and protected during storms, garden work, and outdoor events—ideal for patios, decks, workshops, carports, and commercial exteriors.

Description

Built from impact-resistant, UV-stabilized material, the cover forms a tight weather seal over your outlets while allowing cords to exit through molded knockouts. A padlock-ready latch (or integrated lock, model-dependent) deters unauthorized access and accidental unplugging. The deep, in-use hood accommodates bulky transformers, smart-plug modules, and GFCI/WR outlets without pinching cords, so you stay powered and compliant even with the cover closed.

Key Features

• Weatherproof In-Use Design
  Full-cover hood protects outlets while cords remain plugged in—great for fountains, holiday lights, pumps, EV trickle chargers, and tools.
  
• 2-Gang Compatibility
  Fits common 2-gang boxes and faceplates (GFCI, duplex, and decorator styles with included inserts).
  
• Lockable Security
  Padlock eye or keyed latch helps prevent tampering and keeps kids from accessing live outlets.
  
• Durable, UV-Stable Housing
  Impact- and fade-resistant polycarbonate (or die-cast aluminum on some versions) stands up to sun, hail, and temperature swings.
  
• Gasketed Seal
  Closed-cell foam or silicone gasket reduces water ingress and wind-driven rain, helping maintain a dry connection.
  
• Flexible Cord Ports
  Multiple cut-to-fit cord slots route straight, left, or right—no sharp bends; supports heavier outdoor cables.
  
• Easy Install
  Mounts to existing 2-gang weatherproof box; includes hardware and adapter plates for various receptacle layouts.
  

Benefits

• All-Weather Reliability: Keeps connections dry to reduce nuisance trips, corrosion, and premature device failure.
  
• Safety & Compliance: Supports in-use weather protection requirements in many jurisdictions when used with outdoor-rated/GFCI outlets.
  
• Security & Peace of Mind: Lockable cover discourages unauthorized use of your exterior power.
  
• Versatility: Deep hood clears smart plugs, timers, and brick-style adapters—no need to remove the cover to power larger devices.
  
• Low Maintenance: Smooth surfaces wipe clean; UV-stable materials resist chalking and cracking.
  

Use Cases

• Home: Holiday lights, garden pumps, pressure washers, outdoor kitchens, patio heaters, string lights.
  
• Worksites: Jobsite tools, temporary lighting, trailers, signage.
