Are you cringing thinking of just how messy your bathroom countertops are right now? We spend a lot of time in bathrooms. Women blow dry, straighten, and even curl their hair plus use electric shavers and toothbrushes. Meanwhile men use electric razors and trimmers. What's more, everything is fighting for counter space. At Docking Drawer, we believe there's a better way to tame and organize that bathroom clutter-and it all begins with an in-drawer power outlet.
What are Docking Drawer Powering Outlets?
We're so glad you asked!
Docking Drawers are fully tested in-drawer outlet assemblies that can easily be specified into almost any vanity drawer. In fact, we actually make two types of in-drawer powering outlets depending on your needs: Style Drawer and Style Drawer Flush. The Style Drawer and Style Drawer Flush powering outlets are most commonly specified into bathrooms but can be used for kitchen appliances and power tools as well. These outlets feature a 20 amp, GFCI tamper resistant outlet which includes an integrated thermostat that cuts power to the outlet in the event that the surrounding temperature exceeds 120 degrees to minimize any risk or other damage.
Where Should I Install a Docking Drawer Power Outlet?
We love being asked this question! Style Drawer powering outlets are perfect for helping you keep your bathroom organized and the cords associated with various hair care tools such as hair dryers and curling irons, tucked out of sight. Add powering outlets into drawers, as a vertical styling station, and pair with Pojjo canisters for a sleek, sophisticated look inside your cabinets. The Style Drawer can be specified into any vanity, no matter how large or small. You can order them factory direct or order cabinetry that comes complete with a Docking Drawer outlet plus a style studio from one of our cabinet partners Dura Supreme Cabinetry, Bellmont Cabinets, and Wellborn Cabinets.
Why a Docking Drawer?
At Docking Drawer, we're proud to have roots in everything from engineering to semiconductor to research. It was to our benefit in the Docking Drawer design stages and it's to your benefit as our customers. That's because unlike popular Pinterest electrical strip hacks, Docking Drawers are purpose built to be safe, reliable, and meet a variety of standards set forth by the government. We're ETL Listed, and best of all our outlets pass the approvals from building inspectors. Docking Drawer outlets are not only safe to use, but they're also innovative and provide a functional source of power while offering a clutter-free aesthetic-DIY hacks can't do that as they don't have interlocking safety features and thermostatic shut-offs.
I'm Not Remodeling My Bathroom. Can I Still Install a Docking Drawer Power Outlet?
Yes! Docking Drawer power outlets can be installed into any project-not just new ones. The issue is space. Typically there is no space available behind the drawer for a Style Drawer Series outlet. To make space available for Style Drawers, we developed a retrofit panel. The back of the drawer box can be removed or modified and our retrofit panel (or a panel you create yourself) can be inserted to allow your Style Drawer outlet to fit. Need a little assistance with sourcing power to your new outlet? Our Electrical Planning Guide will lay out everything you need to plan your Docking Drawer installation.
