For those wondering if it should be a GFCI, the answer is not necessarily. If it's connected to a GFCI breaker or there is already a GFCI on the same circuit, you don't need another one- it's redundant at that point. If there is no GFCI anywhere on the circuit, then yes, a GFCI is a good idea.
BTW, you're missing the kit-supplied outlet trim for the plug. And, given the X and Y axis janky-ness of that outlet, I'd caulk the heck out of that cover.
There is a proper outlet insert for the shape and/or type of receptacle or switch that goes in the rectangular opening of the cover. You didn't use the right one for a duplex receptacle. You used the one for a GFCI. Just thought you should know.
I was wanting to do this to an outlet outside, but thought it was complicated as electricity scares me! Thanks so much for the video and tips!! Getting this done!
Awesome! Glad it helped! Yeah, it's much less scary when you know how to do it. Also, I didn't show in this video, make sure its water tight. Sometimes you'll have to apply caulking around the outside.
Out of curiosity (not criticism). Wouldn't the gap between the wall and the "Red Dot cover" just be an opening for water to enter? With the new cover sticking out more I would think more water might get between the gap. If the kit doesn't come with some type of expandable gasket for un-even surfaces I would rather just replace it with a proper one for the cost and a couple extra minutes of time for peace of mind.
He got it done but it was pretty sloppy and doing it right isn't much harder. First shut off power. Caulk the back of the box for surface irregularities. Use the proper outlet cover, in this case duplex vs the gfci that was the default. Better yet use a gfci in this location.
my hubby mounted our outlets horizontally. no videos showing that. ours are in brick. we currently only have the metal cover with no slot for the cords. I have outdoor WYZE cameras that have a USB plug that plugs into a standard outlet on the house side. the other side is USB to camera. do you have any videos showing how to do horizontal mount? I'm not quite sure how to do it and he works tons of hours, so it's up to me.
I had one of these covers installed last fall. I went to use it today and could not get the cover to lift up. Is there some type of latch or lock preventing the cover to lift up. I did not put a lock on it. I didn’t want to force it open for fear of breaking it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yep. He did a half ass job
How do I get that plate off
This was done incorrectly…as stated water will get inside the outlet
Un-loosen? 😂😂, that means tighten.
Damn, who installed the original box, it’s so level!
Missing the proper inserts for the duplex receptacle.
Thanks for this video! Much easier than I expected

Hi, does it stands Floods? Can it be underwater? Thanks

Can you share how you remove the hinge from the outlet cover box?
you should make that gfi
Agreed!

"Unloosen" means to tighten
Thanks for this video. Can I use this to prevent neighbors from plugging in their extension cord and stealing our electricity?
Yes you can. That's crazy! You can put a little lock on it too if you'd like.
Sounds good 👍
No videos on how to remove the hinge pins.
Ones I bought they have them in the wrong POS for me and I have no idea how to pull them

How do you stop bees from getting inside and setting up home.
Shouldn’t this be GFCI outlet ?
don't use a drill to secure these screws. You could easily crack the plastic
@1:40
Is it required to use a flathead the same length of Texas?
ever wonder why real pro's don't use power drills for screws?
Shouldn’t that be GFCI?
Do you need an electrician to install this?
Thanks. Someone installed mine upside down. Now, I know why I can't get the cord in.😥
Sorry to hear that
