    We sell LOADS of fitting kits for these. The 60mm diamond drill cuts perfect holes into 30mm granite block. PS: If you are going to order a fitting kit please check the measurements for your own powerdock because there are three versions and all slighty vary




    Powerdocks are a novel way of flush fitting plug sockets for those occasional use items like laptops etc. Dock pushes down to conceal the sockets inside the granite.

    Also we do NOT sell kits for wooden counters.

    First time ive seen them, they would be a revelation for both us and sparks, no tracking for them or extra cutting for us.
    See more and more pop up 'thingys' for granite work surfaces now a days but these are new to me!
