Get a finished look with wall plate depth extender rings that hide edges on protruding electrical boxes and fix gaps caused by electrical devices with bulky wiring. Stack these 1/8" acrylic spacer gaskets to cover deeper gaps - 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", etc. - to create extra deep wall plates.
Use these hard plastic spacers behind standard and oversized light switch outlet covers to get a finished look under wallplate edges.
Problem: There's a gap between your switch plate cover and the wall.
Cause #1: Electrical Box Sticks Out
Your electrical box might not sit flush with the wall surface.
When boxes protrude out of the wall, there will be a gap between the plate & the wall once the plate is installed.
This happens when you remove wall paneling or tile that the box was pulled forward to sit flush with.
Solution: Buy deep plates (with a deeper edge bevel) that reach back farther around the box's protruding edges. Or, stack depth filler rings (sold above) underneath your standard cover.
Cause #2: Device Too Big for Electrical Box
You may have replaced an old device (such as an electrical outlet) with a newer, bulkier one (like a GFCI outlet). If your electrical box is too shallow to accommodate the bulkier device, it will stick out.
Solution: Put spacers under the device, then use deeper plates or stack depth rings under standard plates.
1/8" Rings
Fix small 1/8" gaps underneath your switch plate or outlet cover.
1/4" Rings
Extra deep rings fill 1/4" gaps.
Rings can be stacked for larger sized gaps.
Rings for Standard Plates
These depth rings sit behind standard size cover plates (2-3/4"W x 4-1/2"H for 1-gang).
Add standard sized covers right over the gap fillers.
Use these rings to add extra depth to standard or half narrow plates that have one side trimmed by 1/8" (not plates with 1/4" trim).
Half Sized Rings
Half size rings fill gaps that are only under half of your plate.
When your wall tile ends mid-way up your light switch cover, a half sized filler can do the trick.
To prevent the outlet from being "sunken" down in the cover, be sure to stack spacers underneath the receptacle to pull it up to sit flush with the tile and filler ring.
Rings for Oversized Covers
Oversized rings can be used under oversized switch plates (3-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H for single gang).
If you have an oversized plate with a gap underneath, you'll want to get the oversized rings as a solution.
