I have sockets with track diaphragms (this is probably what it's called). I can not plug in a single socket, because this screen has blocked. Can a person not familiar with electricity, like me, somehow fix it or should I call an electrician?

The outlet will be replaced, so it depends on whether you feel strong enough to replace them.

I thought that if I turn it on, I will be able to take out this blockage (because I do not have children, it is unnecessary) and mount again, but if I want to replace the whole socket, I will have to call an electrician.

Of course, you can remove this lock on the cover / bezel of the socket, after unscrewing it from the mechanism. The only question is why and for what reason there is such and no other nest (?)

The developer probably intended to protect children, but I do not have children, and you could plug in the plug a week ago, the blockade had to break down.

Try turning the plug lightly to the right and left when inserting the plug. Gently, do not force it.

Probably due to the fact that you could plug in such a different plug. I, when I was buying nests for myself, I bought Legranda, some Chinese ones for three gold pieces. These Chinese are with a blockade. So far (about 7 years of use) none of the sockets has broken.

Some crap - what's the blockade to the type of plug?

The socket is a socket if it has a lock or not. It is known with the lock they are safer, especially when someone has small children. mY , and how to answer the question for what reason is such and not another nest? Because the developer's locks are installed in special rooms? No. If not, it's probably because special plugs must be plugged into special sockets. Hahaha.

Unable to Insert Plug into Socket with Track Diaphragms - DIY Repair or Electrician Needed?

Best answers

Can I fix a socket with a stuck safety shutter/diaphragm myself, or do I need to call an electrician?

You may be able to fix it yourself if the problem is only the shutter/child-safety lock, but if the socket mechanism is damaged the outlet should be replaced and you may want an electrician. Gently turn the plug a little left and right while inserting it; do not force it [#16425600] If the safety lock is on the cover/bezel, it can be removed after unscrewing the socket from the mechanism [#16425098] One reply also notes that the outlet will need replacement, so whether it is DIY depends on whether you feel strong enough to replace it yourself [#16424957]
