Find the perfect single receptacle wall plate to protect your outlets, hide rough openings, and give your installation a clean, professional finish. Our 1-gang and specialty single-receptacle covers—including oversized, maxi, and even 2-gang plates with one large central receptacle opening—are available in durable metal finishes ideal for residential, commercial, industrial, and specialty applications such as dryer outlets and EV charging stations.
Single Receptacle Wall Plates for Every Application
Single receptacle wall plates are designed for installations where a single, larger outlet or specialty device is used instead of a standard duplex. These plates feature a centered opening sized for heavy-duty receptacles, twist-lock connectors, equipment outlets, and other commercial-grade power devices. At Wallplate.store, our focus is on strong, professional-grade metal covers—many of them Made in the USA—so you get maximum durability, better alignment, and a cleaner finished look compared to thin plastic alternatives.
Standard, Jumbo, Maxi & Specialty Single Receptacle Plates
Every job site has a different requirement, which is why we carry multiple sizes and configurations:
- Standard 1-Gang Plates – For clean, properly cut single-outlet installations.
- Jumbo / Oversize Plates – Ideal for covering uneven drywall, oversized cutouts, or older boxes.
- Maxi Plates – Larger than jumbo and excellent when you need extra coverage without patching the wall.
- 2-Gang Plates with a Single Receptacle Opening – Commonly used for dryer outlets, EV chargers, machinery receptacles, and other high-amperage devices where a wide, stable plate is needed.
These specialty configurations are increasingly popular in garages, workshops, mechanical rooms, laundry rooms, and outdoor service areas—anywhere a larger device needs a secure, code-compliant plate that looks clean and professional.
Perfect for Heavy-Duty, High-Amperage & Specialty Outlets
Single receptacle plates are the go-to choice when the installation involves:
- Dryer receptacles – Often requiring a metal 2-gang plate with one centered round outlet opening.
- EV charging outlets (240V) – Where a wider plate is needed to support high-amperage devices.
- Twist-lock and industrial-grade receptacles – Used in commercial kitchens, warehouses, and workshops.
- Dedicated appliance outlets – For machinery, HVAC equipment, compressors, or pumps.
These specialty plates ensure safety, stability, and a finished appearance around devices that standard outlet covers simply cannot accommodate.
Durable Metal Construction & Professional Finishes
Metal wall plates offer significantly better durability than plastic plates. They resist cracking, bending, and discoloration, making them ideal for both residential and commercial use. Available finishes include:
- Stainless steel – Great for commercial facilities, kitchens, garages, and harsh environments.
- Satin brass, black, white, and brushed finishes – Stylish options that match hardware and décor.
- Paintable options – Perfect when you need a plate to blend seamlessly with wall colors.
How to Choose the Correct Single Receptacle Wall Plate
To ensure the right fit, consider the following when selecting your plate:
- Match the device opening: Make sure the opening size and shape fits your specific receptacle (round, locking, specialty, or heavy-duty).
- Select the correct size: Standard for clean installs, or jumbo / maxi when covering larger cutouts.
- Determine the gang size: 1-gang for most outlets, or 2-gang single opening for larger devices like dryers and EV chargers.
- Choose the finish: Match nearby switches, receptacles, screw colors, and other hardware for a unified look.
