I have some standard electrical outlets where the cover plate stands

Does anyone know if these inserts are available and where?

Many thanks,

Any reason you can't make your own from a bit of wood and a saw?


Yes, wood is a combustible material. Although it is used as wall plate
material, it cannot be used as an extension box.

This use isn't a box extension, though. THe problem is that
the box sticks too far out, not insufficiently far out. So it's
just a case of a wooden faceplate with an integrel return to make it
reach the wall surface AROUND the box.

Fixing the box is still a better idea, though.
