Hi
I'm assembling a large wardrobe which will hide a 13 Amp wall socket.
I will plug in an extension cable, but will be embarrassed if the fuse
ever blows.
Ideas please

Work out where the socket will be in relation to the back panel of the
wardrobe, and cut a hole in it large enough to get your hand through.

Since I've never blown an extension cable fuse, I wouldn't worry about it.
I'd probably swear a bit if it blew, then move the thing.

cheers,

Wire a single unfused extension from the socket to a new socket that's
not behind the wardrobe?

If the drobe is movable I wouldnt worry too much. A hole is good if
its not a real quality item. If its a fitted job, nothing you do with
the
socket will make it conform, as it contains screw connections. Other
than removing and crimping or soldering.

I had a double 13a socket tucked away behind a built-in wardrobe and left
it there on the grounds that I had enough other sockets in the bedroom, and
it'll never go wrong just leaving the socket there.......

Wrong!

Doing some rewiring, and I guess the cables down the wall got disturbed
somehow or other, anyway, finished up with a fault in the wiring to the
socket. Eventually found after spending a happy hour or two trying to break
up the ring, and then hearing a 'pop' from behind the wardrobe. Problem was
solved by cutting the legs of the ring in the loft and fitting a jb to cut
the socket out of the ring.
