Is it harder to insert or remove a plug from a tamper-resistant receptacle?
Recent testing by several device manufacturers found no appreciable difference for insertion and removal forces between tamper-resistant and non-tamper-resistant receptacles. However, bent, damaged, or burred plug blades can make insertion more difficult. To ensure proper function, users should examine and straighten or replace substandard plug blades. Severely damaged plugs should be replaced by a qualified professional.
