GFCI receptacle inside of kitchen cabinet

[K8MHZ]

You go look for the keys, I'll move some dishes. Let's see who gains access to it first.

NEC....

There is nothing preventing the key from being left in the lock, AFAIK.

In my code book it states that obstacle is "other than keys".

Go to article 100 and see what your version of the code says. They do change this sort of thing on occasion.

Now what if you use a combination padlock instead of a keyed lock?

Hope they at least keep those changes consistent in each copy of same year, that would suck to have different words in each copy of the same year:blink:

Not quite. It is the GFCI mechanism (i.e., the "interrupter") that must be readily accessible. A GFCI breaker that serves a receptacle inside a cabinet would satisfy that requirement.

So Are GFCI receptacles allowed under kitchen sink?

 

[Knuckle Dragger]

I guess WR flip doors would make it not readily accessable by some people's standards.

This is why I prefer to use GFCI breakers. All in the same place for test purposes, you don't have to go moving things or worry about a receptacle behind something, and you don't have to go looking all over if a receptacle trips that's feeding other receptacles.
