This Docking Drawer 15 amp Safety Interlock Outlet brings powered convenience inside an appliance garage while cutting power automatically when the door closes, so appliances are not left running unattended behind a closed tambour or door.
An appliance garage keeps a toaster, coffee maker, or small appliance off the counter and out of sight, but an always-on outlet inside one means the appliance is drawing power even when the door is down and nobody is using it. This outlet solves that by tying power directly to the door: when the door closes, the magnetic switch detects it and cuts the circuit. The appliance loses power as soon as it is put away. Open the door, and power returns. The interlock runs the logic automatically, without a button to press or a cord to unplug.
The activation switch is magnetic, which means there are no mechanical contacts to wear out from repeated door cycles. The circuit type is normally closed, so the switch opens and cuts power when the door magnet comes into proximity, which is the configuration suited to switch-off applications. The outlet and switch are finished in black, keeping the hardware recessed and unobtrusive inside the cabinet. At 1/4 inch wide, the outlet fits into the limited space a built-in appliance garage provides without requiring modification to the enclosure.
This is the right outlet for a kitchen designer or cabinet builder who wants to power an appliance garage without leaving a live circuit inside a closed enclosure. It suits new construction and full kitchen remodels where the appliance garage is built into upper cabinetry. Woodshops producing custom cabinetry can specify this unit into appliance garage builds as a standard feature for clients who want the convenience of plug-in access with an automatic shutoff. It is an indoor, cabinet-integrated application, not a general-purpose outlet for open counter or exterior use.
The interlock ties outlet power to the door position. When the appliance garage door closes, the magnetic switch detects it and cuts power to the outlet. When the door opens, power is restored. Appliances inside the garage are only powered when the door is open.
Normally closed means the circuit is complete when the switch is at rest. When the door magnet approaches the switch on close, it opens the circuit and cuts power. This is the switch-off configuration, where closing the door is what turns power off.
It is designed for built-in appliance garage applications. The compact 1/4 inch width suits standard enclosure clearances, but confirm the cabinet dimensions and door type against the product specs before installation to ensure the magnetic switch will engage correctly at the door position.
No. This is an indoor, cabinet-integrated outlet designed for dry appliance garage enclosures.
Specify this outlet when the goal is appliance garage power that takes care of itself, cutting the circuit every time the door goes down so no appliance stays running out of sight.
