TIP: If your plate is not quite covering the defect on your wall, try positioning the electrical device as close to that area as possible. This may give you up to 1/8" more coverage on that edge. To do this, turn off the power, loosen the screws, shove over the device as far toward the defect as possible then retighten your screws and restore power. Then when you replace the plate, your imperfection may now be covered.

Do I need oversized switches and outlets if I use oversized light switch covers?
No. Rest assured that your current electrical devices will fit your new oversized switch plates just fine. The electrical switch and outlet openings (as well as the screw holes) are all standardized and are not affected by the size of the wall plate covering them. (The device stays the same, only the overall dimensions of the plate itself vary to cover a larger area of the wall - whether from slighter bigger, wide, tall, or mid-way wall plates to jumbo, ultra oversized, or even odd-shaped decorative covers - so your jumbo switchplate will always be compatible with your current light switches and outlets.

What if I have a large hole in the wall on one side of a single light switch? Is there a way to cover that without an oversized plate?
Use 2-gang or 3-gang plates with a single opening next to blanks to cover up a hole in the drywall that's only on one side of the box.
Plates can be rotated to cover a hole in the sheetrock that is on the left or right side of the switch.
If there is any wall surface under the blank slot screw holes, screw the plate to the wall.
If there is not anything to screw the blank screw holes to, use nuts behind the plate to hold the screws in place and only screw the cover into the device itself.
The larger plate you need may be a deep plate rather than oversized.
Deep plates will fix gaps behind plates, ranging rom 1/8" to 1/2".
Gaps underneath outlet covers can be caused by protruding electrical wall boxes or by large bukly GFCI devices.
Deep plates are the most aethetically pleasing way to fix a gap, but not every configuration is available.
Depth rings can also be stacked underneath your covers to fix gaps in increments of 1/8".
If your electrical outlet or other device is sunken down in the cover, lift the device forward in the box with spacers.
Spacers sit under switches or sockets and bring them forward to sit flush with the cover plate. They are stackable and 1/8" each.
