OVERVIEW
Power Drawers as Narrow as 9"
Docking Drawer's Blade Compact Vanity Outlet brings power to even the narrowest drawers while keeping vanity surfaces clear of device clutter. Designed for compact spaces, it features a compact cable management system that installs with ease into drawers as narrow as 11" or 9" by applying our side channel technique during installation.
Smart & Compact Solution
Available in a variety of configurations featuring combinations of USB-C (PD) and AC plugs, these outlets can support up to four styling essentials, from hair dryers to shavers, toothbrushes, and beyond. The receptacles are designed to be interchangeable, so you can upgrade them later to keep up with the latest advancements, making Blade the only future-proof and repairable in-drawer outlet solution on the market.
Easy & Adaptable Installation
Installing the 15 amp Blade Compact Vanity Outlet is simple, requiring only a few basic tools and about 30 minutes for an average DIY savvy homeowner or trade professional. Designed for 21" deep vanity drawers, it easily installs into 11" wide drawers without modifications, requiring a 4" interior height and 2" of rear clearance. For even tighter spaces, it can fit drawers as narrow as 9" with a side channel modification. Its compact design ensures minimal intrusion into neighboring spaces, making it the ideal choice for tight vanity installations.
Safety Without Compromise
Docking Drawer outlets are ETL Listed for the US & Canada and include advanced safety features, such as an interlocking thermostat that prevents overheating by cutting power if ambient temperatures exceed 120°F. All-metal cable management arms guide and protect the power cord as the drawer opens and closes, ensuring no loss of drawer functionality or frayed wires, and strain reliefs ensure durability. The soft-jacketed cable is designed for smooth movement with soft-close glides. With tamper-resistant design and thorough testing, these outlets deliver unmatched safety and reliability. If you're looking for an additional layer of safety, you can pair this outlet with our Blade Safety Shutoff to automatically cut power whenever the drawer is closed.
PROJECT PLANNING CHECKLIST
How to Plan Your Compact Vanity Outlet Project
Use this simple checklist to confirm drawer fit, choose the right power configuration, and plan your Blade installation with confidence.
Confirm Your Cabinet and Drawer Type
Start with where the outlet will go. Our smallest outlet yet, the Blade Compact Vanity Outlet is purpose-built for bathroom vanities, fitting 21" deep base cabinets and the narrow drawers common in pre-assembled vanities and alongside sink bases. Where standard Blade Series outlets are 13" wide, the Blade Compact Vanity Outlet is designed for compact drawers as narrow as 9".
Verify Drawer Measurements
Measure the outside width (OD) of the drawer box. Installation requires 2" of space behind the drawer box.
- Minimum drawer box width (OD): 11", or as narrow as 9" when applying a side channel cutout during installation
- Minimum interior drawer box height: 4" or more
- Minimum space behind drawer box: 2"
- Maximum cabinet depth: 21"
| Drawer Type | Min Drawer Box Width (OD) | Min Interior Height |
|---|---|---|
| Shallow drawer | 15" | 3" |
| Tall drawer | 13" | 4" |
| *Narrow drawer | 9" | 4" |
| Vertical drawer | 8" | 13" |
*The Blade fits drawers as narrow as 9" wide by applying our narrow drawer installation technique.
Choose Your Amperage
For most projects, 15 amp is the standard choice. Choose a 20 amp Blade Compact Vanity outlet when the device or specified circuit requires it, such as a high-draw styling tool on a dedicated 20 amp circuit. Both outlets are the same physical size. Learn more here.
