    How do I plug in something to a tamper resistant gfci device?
    I have a new Lutron tamper resistant GFCI in the kitchen. I see the little shutters on the left 'hole' of both the upper and lower recept. How hard do I push a plu into these to release them or is there some trick... the plug doesn't seem to want to go and I don't want to push too hard.

    You have to put even pressure on both slots. Some devices you have to push pretty hard.
