Discuss Help with socket face plates to fit a busy/narrow back box in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

In that case I wouldn't have fitted metal sockets ;):):D
It’s the people that have polished nickel black where you have to give it a wipe over with a duster before you put your invoice in! Oh, and remove your shoe covers!
People don’t realise how dirty sockets get until they choose chrome!
 
Flat plate will generally need a deeper box than a standard white (or raised profile) accessory so you probably need to change the boxes to fit the accessory or change the accessories to fit the current boxes!
