Shop GFCI outlet covers and rocker / decorator wall plates for modern electrical devices. Also known as decorator or *Decora®-style wall plates, these covers fit GFCI outlets, rocker switches, dimmers, and USB outlets used in homes and commercial spaces.
Available in durable metal and plastic finishes, including standard, oversized, and specialty configurations designed for a clean, modern look and reliable performance.
GFCI Outlet Covers & Rocker / Decorator Wall Plates
GFCI outlet covers and rocker wall plates are designed for modern electrical devices that use a large rectangular opening. These are commonly used for GFCI outlets, rocker switches, dimmers, timers, and USB outlets in residential and commercial installations.
A rocker or decorator wall plate is the same general style as a GFCI outlet cover. The only difference is the device behind it. All use the same rectangular cutout, making them interchangeable depending on the electrical device installed.
What Is a GFCI Outlet Cover?
A GFCI outlet cover is a wall plate designed for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets. These outlets are typically installed in areas where electrical safety is critical, such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, and outdoor locations.
Because GFCI outlets are larger than standard duplex outlets, they require a decorator-style wall plate with a rectangular opening instead of two round receptacle openings.
Rocker vs Duplex Outlet Covers
Unlike duplex outlet covers, which are designed for standard two-plug outlets, rocker and GFCI wall plates have a single rectangular opening. This design fits modern electrical devices and provides a more contemporary appearance.
If you are unsure which type you need, check the shape of your device. A rectangular opening requires a rocker or GFCI wall plate, while two plug openings require a duplex outlet cover.
Available Configurations
This collection includes a wide range of GFCI outlet covers and rocker wall plates for different device layouts:
- Single rocker / GFCI wall plates

Standard vs Oversized GFCI Wall Plates
