Wall Outlet Cover Replacement

はじめに

This guide will help cover a left undone outlet hole or if you are putting a new outlet cover. This guide will help prevent a hazardous zone for children, especially for children under three years old, who can easily put the cord in their mouth or get their hand stuck inside the wall. The guide will also prevent any bugs or mice to get in and out of the hole and it would be best if the hole would be covered up with a proper blank wall outlet cover and this guide is here to help you do that.
