FAQs

What is the main purpose of the MK Grid Plus system?

The MK Grid Plus system allows for flexible and customizable electrical configurations by enabling various switch and socket modules to be fitted into a common grid framework, all covered by a single faceplate.

Can I use modules from other brands with this cover plate?

No, this cover plate is specifically designed for MK Grid Plus modules only. Using modules from other brands will not be compatible.

How many modules can be installed on this plate?

This is a 6-gang cover plate, meaning it can accommodate up to six individual MK Grid Plus modules.

Does the cover plate come with the switches or modules?

No, the cover plate is supplied as a faceplate and mounting frame only. The individual switch and socket modules must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the brushed chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads which can damage the finish.

What is the difference between Albany Plus and standard MK grid plates?

The Albany Plus range typically features a more modern, curved design profile compared to older, more traditional flat grid plates.

Troubleshooting

Cover plate does not fit flush against the wall.

Check that the mounting frame is correctly installed and secured to the wall box. Ensure no cables are obstructing the frame.

Modules are difficult to install into the frame.

Verify that you are using genuine MK Grid Plus modules. Ensure the frame is properly seated and that no obstructions are present in the module slots.

Scratches or damage to the brushed chrome finish.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor cosmetic blemishes, assess if they are acceptable or if replacement is necessary. Contact the retailer for options if the damage is significant.
