We do! When the paint is dry, grab a bottom corner and pull so the bottom is free and the top is still attached. Use the switch as needed and then make sure to press it back on before spraying or rolling paint.

1. Remove the switch or outlet cover. 
2. Peel. Each adhesive paper has a long edge for easy peeling - peel from the long edge side. 
3. Stick. Gently press the Socket Blocker on - no hard rubbing is required, and may cause residue when removing. 
4. Paint. Or texture! Or grout! Have fun! 
5. When paint is dry, remove the Socket Blocker by grabbing an upper corner and gently pulling toward you. 

6‑pack – Great for small spaces like a bathroom or single bedroom. Covers a handful of outlets/switches, ideal for quick paint touch‑ups.

30‑pack – Best all‑around choice: enough for 3–5 rooms (including switches, plugs, data ports). This is the sweet spot for most DIY projects and gives you spares.

60‑pack – Specifically for big painting or remodeling jobs, such as an entire house or extensive renovation.

That’s right!  When the paint is totally dry, remove them from the wall and either move them to the next area of outlets/switches/ports or stack them neatly inside one another for storing.

Buy them directly from the Socket Blocker store, our website, or one of our retail partners.  Make sure it says Made In the USA and that the packaging is consistent with our website.
