Bathroom shaver sockets
Posted by: TomK on 22 September 2010
I'm having to replace our shaver socket and since we now have a few toothbrushes to charge as well as my shaver I was wondering if anybody had come across a double socket unit. I've found plenty of dual voltage dual sockets but does anybody know if both sockets can be used simultaneously.
Finally, would a new socket fit into the wall fixture I already have, which is thirty years old?

Cheers. I think the answer is no there are no dual socket fixtures readily available. It was just an idle thought, hardly essential.
Might need to look a little harder Tom, sorry but I might have led u up a goats trail 
I now see the latest MK double outlets prevent inserting 2 plugs with linked shutters. It reads like its a regulation.
My outlet is about 20 years old and will take 2 plugs at a time so I guess is pre regulation.
I've looked around for spec sheets & found almost none have them or are specific enough.
It might mean u need to go to a few stores and try sticking 2 plugs into the appliance at a time.
Not an arrestable offence, but I guess very frustrating.
BTW - I hardly ever use the shaver socket(s), I normally charge my stuff from a bedroom 13amp with adaptor.
SWMBO has more or less sole use of the bathroom socket.
