why would the screw fall out? This is a ridiculous scenario.


Most places that use stainless steel outlet covers often have
construction going on all the time.

Vibration.



If you're going to think of office buildings as if they were cars, boats &
aircraft, then the law should forbid using screws to attach wires to outlets
and switches.


Or they should have wires through the screws so they can't unscrew.
Finally a way to use those wire twisting pliers I keep posting about.
I'm going to start on it tonight.
