FAQs

What size back box does this fit?

Can I use this with a single gang socket?

No, this product is specifically designed for double gang (double width) sockets and back boxes.

What is the shelf made of?

The shelf has a non-slip surface, designed to hold mobile phones securely.

Does it come with the power outlet?

What color is the faceplate surround?

The faceplate surround is white.

How much weight can the shelf hold?

The shelf is designed primarily for mobile phones and similar small, lightweight items. Avoid placing heavy objects on it.

Are the screws included?

Troubleshooting

Surround does not fit correctly

Verify that you are using a standard UK double gang back box and faceplate. Ensure no obstructions are present in the back box.

Shelf feels unstable

Check that all mounting screws are tightened securely. Ensure the surround is flush against the wall and the faceplate is properly fitted.

Non-slip surface is ineffective

Ensure the shelf surface is clean and free from dust or moisture. For very smooth-surfaced phones, consider a case with better grip.
