Question 4

How do I install this double switch socket?

Accepted Answer

Ensure power is OFF at the mains. Remove the existing device, then mount the MK K2747WHI in a suitable back box. Connect the live feed to the common terminal of each switch and attach each load wire to its respective switch output. Secure the assembly and fit the faceplate. The package includes screws and fittings for easy fitting.

Question 5

Where can I use this socket?

Accepted Answer

It's designed for indoor, dry-location use in living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, or similar spaces where you want to independently control two devices from one plate (e.g., a lamp and a TV, two lamps, etc.).

Question 6

Is this product safe and compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It uses flame-retardant material and includes a child-safe shutter. It is designed to meet standard electrical safety expectations for UK installations. As with all electrical fittings, have installation performed by a qualified electrician if you’re unsure.

Question 7

How should I maintain or inspect this socket after installation?

Accepted Answer

Keep the faceplate clean and dry, wipe with a dry cloth as needed, and inspect for any signs of damage or overheating. If you notice scorching, discoloration, or a loose faceplate, stop using it and have it inspected or replaced by a professional.

Question 8

How does a double switch socket differ from a single-gang switch?

Accepted Answer

A double switch socket provides two independent switches on one faceplate, allowing you to control two loads separately without using two separate devices. It’s a compact solution for managing two circuits from one location.

Question 10

Can I bridge the live feed to both switches if I only have one power feed?

Accepted Answer

Many 2-gang switch designs allow a single live feed to be bridged to both switches. If your MK K2747WHI unit requires bridging, follow the manufacturer’s wiring diagram included with the product and, if in doubt, consult a qualified electrician to ensure correct and safe wiring.

Question 11

What should I do if the switches feel stiff or don’t click properly after installation?

Accepted Answer

Power should be OFF during inspection. If the switches feel stiff, check for mis-wiring, loose connections, or debris in the terminal areas. If you’re unsure, have a professional electrician re-check the wiring and secure any loose terminals before restoring power.
