Review on πŸ”Œ Bates- Blank Wall Plate, Pack of 10, 1 Gang Outlet Cover Plate in White - Enhance Your Wall DΓ©cor by Gene Evans

Revainrating 1 out of 5

These are not standard 1 course bare wall panels. Not suitable for standard American 1-gang electrical sockets.

If I have looked very closely at the seller's pictures (especially the attached one) (as I did after sending it back), you can clearly see that the screw holes do NOT match the standard screw spacing . Holes in a standard 1 gang US electrical box. This difference is not a scale issue or an artifact of the photo used - it really doesn't match! Only buy these covers if you plan on driving screws into the surrounding drywall around the box (good luck with that) or if you have odd box sizes. Accidental or intentional - the distance between the holes really does match the distance between the holes in the decor when a Decora switch or socket is installed in the box. The only problem here is that you already have something installed in the box. I think if you want to "close" the decorative socket for some weird reason this will work, but I have no idea why you would want to do that.

Pros
  • Satisfied for now
Cons
  • I won't say anything
