The socket features a white outlet aperture against a powder-coated grey steel faceplate, with three mounting lugs on the top edge for surface installation via conduit or cable entry. Two keys are supplied with each unit, allowing the socket to be locked in the off position to prevent unauthorised use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for controlled-access environments such as hotel corridors, student accommodation, communal laundries, maintenance cupboards and public facilities, the lockable function restricts appliance connection to authorised personnel only. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral conductors when switched off, providing a full disconnection rather than just interrupting the live side. The neon indicator remains visible when the socket is switched on and live, giving a clear visual confirmation of power status from several metres away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 142mm x 81mm grey steel faceplate is powder-coated for durability and carries an IP20 rating suitable for dry indoor locations. The 55.1mm body depth accommodates the keylock mechanism behind the faceplate. The three top-mounted lugs accept M3.5 or M4 fixings for surface mounting to a back box, conduit outlet or directly to a wall via wall plugs. The socket is rated at 13A on 230V 50Hz mains and includes an earth terminal for Class I appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnightsbridge backs this metal-clad socket with a 25-year guarantee, reflecting the premium-grade steel construction and the durability required in high-traffic or semi-industrial environments where plastic faceplates would not survive long-term use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e142mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55.1mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium grade steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder-coated Silver\/Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 Year Guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/datasheet-M9LOCKN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of key is used and how many are supplied?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket includes two keys specific to the locking mechanism.
