FAQs

Are these plates suitable for double sockets?

No, these finger plates are specifically designed for single gang (1 gang) sockets and switches only.

Do I need to turn off the power before installation?

Yes, for safety, always switch off the power supply at the main breaker before attempting any installation or removal of electrical faceplates.

What material are these finger plates made from?

The product description does not specify the exact material, but they are typically made from durable plastic suitable for this application.

Can I paint over these finger plates?

While painting is possible, it is not recommended as it may affect the finish and potentially peel over time. The product is designed to be used with its existing white finish.

What is the overall size of the finger plate?

Each finger plate measures approximately 152.6mm x 152.6mm x 5mm.

Does the product include screws for installation?

The product description does not mention included screws. Typically, you would reuse the screws from your existing socket or switch faceplate.

How many finger plates are in a pack?

The finger plates are supplied as a convenient pack of two.

Troubleshooting

Plate doesn't fit flush against the wall.

Ensure the original socket or switch faceplate is not warped and is securely mounted to the wall box. Check for any debris behind the finger plate.

Screw holes do not align.

Verify that you are using the plate with a standard 1 gang fitting. Minor adjustments might be possible by slightly loosening the socket/switch screws before re-tightening with the finger plate in place.

Finger plate appears damaged upon arrival.

Contact the retailer for a replacement. Inspect the packaging for signs of damage before accepting delivery if possible.
