Wall Outlet Cover Replacement
ID: 142502
Description: This guide will help cover a left undone outlet...
Steps:
- Remove any hazardous pieces from previous cover.
- Be sure to remove the two flathead screws to remove any debris, rather than trying to pull off the sharp pieces.
- Insert any cable or cables that may be hanging out inside of the wall hole.
- Making a loop in the cable might be helpful to push it inside the wall.
- Insert two screws into the holes of the new wall cover.
- Line up the screws in the plate with the screw holes in the wall.
- Tighten the screws slightly with your hands to ensure that both screws have found the proper holes.
- Once the screws have been tightened enough to stay in the holes, they should hold the outlet cover in place.
- Tighten the two screws with a flathead screwdriver.
- Double check that the wall cover plate does not have a gap, and it is completely attached to the wall.
- If any gap is detected, push the plate to the wall and continue to tighten the screws until the gap completely closes.
