Plastic, stainless or aluminum: material and color match

Start with the opening, since a toggle plate will not fit a rocker switch, then choose the material and color. Plastic plates come in white, ivory, light almond, gray and black, and the shades differ between makers, so match them to the switches and outlets on the same wall. Stainless steel and aluminum plates suit kitchens, garages and modern interiors, and a brushed surface hides fingerprints better than a polished one. A title that lists 1-gang or 2-gang tells you how many devices the plate covers.

Screwless, surface-mount and data plates in the same list

Screwless snap-on plates hide the fasteners by clipping over a base plate, which gives a cleaner look but needs a flat wall. Surface-mount boxes are used when you cannot cut into the wall, and they come with a matching plate. Mini-Com and keystone plates hold data, video or audio jacks instead of switches, so check the module format before you choose inserts. Some entries are not plates at all, including cable ties and mounting hardware for computers, so read the title for plate, cover or box.

Questions about Light Switch Plates and Wall Plates

Do all switches use the same plate?
No. Toggle switches, decorator or rocker switches and duplex outlets each need their own opening, and a single plate can combine them only in a multi-gang design. Match the plate to the exact devices in the box and the number of gangs.
Why does my new white plate not match the old switches?
White, ivory and light almond vary by maker and fade with age and cooking smoke. Replace the devices and plates together for a perfect match, or choose a contrasting stainless or black plate to make the difference look deliberate.
Can I change a switch plate without turning off the power?
Turn the breaker off first. Removing a plate exposes the switch and its screw terminals, and metal plates can touch live parts. Test that the circuit is dead with a tester, then fit the new plate and switch the power back on.
