My cover plates stand away from the wall by about 1/8" to 1/4". I guess I
don't see how a larger plate would solve the problem. Perhaps I am missing
something?


I seem to recall that Mulberry makes some deeper wall plates for situations
where the electrical box is protruding past the wall a little. Their web
site doesn't show them though. Go to an electrical supply company and ask
to see their wall plate catalog. Most likely they won't be a stock item.

Are your electrical boxes protruding out past the wall to cause this or are
your outlets just loose. If the outlets are loose, tightening them will
help the problem.

You can get larger cover plates to compensate for that

I have some standard electrical outlets where the cover plate stands
proud
of the wall by 1/8"-1/4". The easiest way to correct this would be by
use
of an insert between the wall and the cover plate.

Does anyone know if these inserts are available and where?

Many thanks,

Peter.
