Unexpected surprises behind an old wall mounted device doesn’t have to be a day wreaker
Equipment upgrades and replacements often come with the simple task of replacing a wall-mounted device, like a keypad. However, this seemingly easy task can quickly take a turn for the worst if you encounter some unexpected surprises behind that device.
Sometimes the old mounting holes are just outside the area the new device will cover. Other times there may be a large hole, making it difficult to mount the new device. One of the most common issues is a new paint job around the old device. Often, the new device cannot conceal the patchy paint edge. Any of these issues can turn what should be a quick job into a real headache.
ELK offers a simple solution that is quick & easy. The ELK-CPL Universal Cover Plates easily conceal these issues while providing a solid mounting surface for the new device. These plates are designed to provide a clean professional look with quality wood construction and a durable, scratch resistant varnish. They feature a low profile design with rounded corners and can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
Each plate has a 1” hole in the center for wires. There are also mounting hole knockouts for a single gang electrical box. Each plate is 7.375” x 5.5”, perfect for covering whatever you might find behind that old device. Plates are sold in packages of 5.
