How to Specify and Plan an In-Drawer Outlet into your Projects

Sure, you've heard about Docking Drawer outlets-but do you know how to add an in-drawer outlet into your cabinets?

Remember: Install In-Drawer Outlets Safely

Unlike DIY in-drawer power strips or other ad-hoc solutions, Docking Drawer Blade outlets are safe and reliable. Additionally, they offer interlocking safety features that cut power to the outlet when surrounding temperatures exceed 120 degrees F, making them safe for use inside the drawer for any application. In-drawer electrical strip hacks can't do that!

Specifying a Docking Drawer in-drawer outlet is easy, offering a simple specification process. This blog will walk you through that specification steps one-step-at-a-time.

First, Choose a Location

Take control of clutter by creating in-drawer charging or powering stations. Have a need elsewhere? You can also use Docking Drawer outlets to create charging stations in night stands, desks, and drop zones. No matter which space you choose, you can be sure a Docking Drawer will help you stay plugged in.

Second, Find the Right Outlet

We offer a variety of outlet configurations that feature various combinations of AC, USB-A and USB-C with Power Delivery. Our Blade outlets can connect up to 4 devices, and our Blade Duo outlets can connect up to 8 devices in a single outlet.
