Description

Plastic switch plate extension lifter will raise the switch plate 3/4" off the wall, great to cover electrical boxes that are raised and stick out of the wall. Also great for shallow electrical boxes - install a bulkier GFCI receptacle, thick fan control switch or light timer in a box that's not deep enough. Works with any single gang standard size switch plate and most electrical devices including toggle switches, rocker switches, GFCI outlets & duplex outlets. Be sure to check dimensions of your device to be sure it will fit within the inner opening.

    Perfect match and fit

    Replaced worn out outlets in motorhome and needed a way to install deeper, residential outlets in a 1-1/2” space. This item worked perfectly and matched the color. Worth every penny.

    Worked Great

    Had a shallow wall and this product allowed installation of a dimmer which would have otherwise been impossible.

    Solved my problem

    I used this extender to install a smart switch, due to it size didn't fit on current box, I wish they would make a double switch too. STAFF: Leviton does not make a double gang version of this extender, but we make our own versions that fits our 2-gang standard covers. See our stackable Depth Extender Rings under the Hardware category for versions that fit standard to 6 gangs as well as oversized covers.

    Worked well

    Just what we needed. Updating a kitchen and putting in GFI outlets, old boxes too small. This worked out well without having to cut drywall

    Solved my issue

    The old switch box was too shallow to install my WiFi enabled switch and this gave me enough room to install it. Everything sticks out of the wall a bit, but this looks nice enough that it looks like i meant to do it.
