Cover for Honeywell ST699 Programmer/heating control??

But won't she just remove the cover and fiddle with the controlls anyway?

Maybe buy a new timer, fit it in a hidden location only you know, and disconnect the contact wires from the existing one... the old unconnected room stat trick :)

for their heating, and they're not all old or young - many are simply clueless.

You could fit an alternative control somewhere, and leave the existing one as a dummy which doesn't actually control the system.

For a 90 year old at home every day, do you actually want it to switch off at any point? You could just hardwaire it on, and use a programmable room stat to handle night setback if you need it.

Andrew makes a good point. Timers are a very poor way of controlling the temperature. It would be better to fit a programmable stat. Perhaps some are tamper proof.

Make sure that any displays and indicator lights still work as expected, they may be dotty but not daft. Of course you'll then get the call that the radiators are on or off when the "controller" is saying the opposite...

Superglue the sliders - that'll stop her

sounds like whatever you try, she'll fiddle

I got an e-mail reply from Honeywell, quite quickly and quite helpful. They suggested that the only cover was a locking cover
