January 11, 2025

Docking Drawer, the leader in in-drawer outlet solutions, is set to showcase its newly configured Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas this February 2025.

SAN RAMON, Calif., Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Docking Drawer’s Unwavering Dedication to Safety

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality.”

When it comes to safety, no one in the industry matches the focus and innovation of Docking Drawer. Their Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages bring a unique, forward-thinking solution to an often-overlooked area in kitchen design.

Advanced Limit Switch Technology

Docking Drawer’s Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages utilize an advanced Limit Switch system, designed to work seamlessly with power outlets concealed by a cabinet door. This intuitive feature detects when the cabinet door is closed, instantly cutting power to the connected outlet and all powered appliances.

Now Compatible with Any Appliance Garage Door

An updated Limit Switch feature now offers different switch options to accommodate all appliance garage door types, including traditional cabinet doors, pocket door setups, and more. The newly designed Limit Switch now offers two functions to choose from:

Power Off When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is ideal for traditional cabinet doors, where closing the door depresses the switch to cut power safely.Power On When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is perfect for pocket doors, where the door being pushed back upon opening activates the switch, turning the power on.

Customizable Connectivity

The flexibility of Docking Drawer’s solutions also allows for connecting multiple limit switches to a single safety outlet or vice versa, offering customization options to adapt to the unique demands of any project.

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality,” states Scott Dickey, founder of Docking Drawer. “Our Safety Interlock Outlets represent the culmination of our dedication to innovation and empowering homeowners and professionals with safer, more organized spaces—even beyond the kitchen and bathroom.”

Importantly, the outcomes of the Ministerial Roundtable are not confined to the event itself but form an ongoing, year-round program. Regional Coordination Groups will continue to drive the implementation of key initiatives.

“FMF is emerging as the largest global hub for minerals collaboration and action – no other platform brings together government ministers and senior industry leaders at this scale.” Al-Mudaifer concluded.
