Frequently Asked Questions
What size does the AWM2GMB4 2-Gang Wall Plate fit?
▾
The AWM2GMB4 conforms to the standard 2-gang electrical box dimensions used in North America. Its outer width is approximately 4.5 inches, height about 2.75 inches, and depth matches typical box depths of 0.5-0.75 inches, ensuring a drop-in fit without modifications.
Does the plate include any mounting hardware?
▾
The AWM2GMB4 ships with the necessary pre-drilled screw holes but does not include screws or anchors. Installers typically use standard #6-32 wood or metal screws, which are sold separately or may already be on hand for most electrical projects.
How easy is installation for a DIYer?
▾
Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable using a screwdriver. Align the plate’s pre-drilled holes with the mounting screws on the existing box, tighten the screws, and the plate snaps securely into place. Most DIYers can complete the task in under ten minutes.
Is the brushed-metal finish prone to fingerprints?
▾
The brushed-metal surface is designed to mask minor fingerprints and smudges, but like any metal, it can show oil marks if touched frequently. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will keep the finish looking clean without damaging the coating.
Can the plate be used in outdoor applications?
▾
The AWM2GMB4 is intended for indoor use only. While the steel body resists corrosion, the finish is not rated for exposure to moisture, UV light, or extreme temperature fluctuations typical of outdoor environments. For exterior installations, choose a wall plate specifically rated for outdoor use.
