Black Matte 2-Gang Jumbo Wall Plate with One Centered Rocker/GFCI Opening
This specialty black metal wall plate provides the broad coverage of a 2-gang jumbo wall plate while accommodating only one standard-size decorator-style wiring device centered in the plate. Its unusual square configuration creates a clean, balanced appearance while providing substantially more wall coverage than a conventional wall plate.
Measuring 5.5 inches high by 5.5 inches wide, the plate is a full inch taller and nearly an inch wider than a standard 2-gang wall plate. The expanded dimensions can help conceal oversized drywall openings, chipped tile, uneven grout lines, paint marks, rough wall cuts, gaps, and other cosmetic imperfections surrounding an electrical box.
The centered opening remains standard device size, so an oversized switch or receptacle is not required. It is designed for a standard decorator-style device such as a rocker switch, GFCI/GFI receptacle, decorator dimmer, timer, occupancy sensor, or other compatible decorator-style control.
Jumbo Coverage with a Standard-Size Device Opening
This is not a conventional 2-gang plate with two side-by-side openings. Instead, it combines:
- A full 2-gang square jumbo footprint
- One standard-size decorator opening
- A centered and symmetrical device position
- Extra coverage on every side of the installed device
This configuration is particularly useful when a larger wall opening or 2-gang installation must be covered but only one centered wiring device is needed. It can also be selected intentionally as an architectural design feature, giving a single switch or receptacle greater visual presence on the wall.
Distinctive Black Matte Finish
The smooth black matte finish provides a sophisticated alternative to ordinary white wall plates. It coordinates beautifully with black faucets, towel bars, cabinet pulls, lighting fixtures, door hardware, appliances, furniture, and other dark decorative accents.
The understated finish works especially well in:
- Modern and contemporary bathrooms
- Libraries, studies, and reading rooms
- Home theaters and dark-toned rooms
- Formal dining rooms and ballrooms
- Restaurants, bars, cafés, and hospitality spaces
- Upscale residential interiors
- Commercial offices and reception areas
- Rooms with black, charcoal, stone, or dark wood finishes
Because of its generous square dimensions, the plate can function as more than a repair solution. Against contrasting wall colors or decorative tile, it creates a deliberate, bold design statement that helps visually frame the device.
Durable Painted Steel Construction
The wall plate is manufactured from 0.030-inch-thick cold-rolled steel, providing a rigid and durable alternative to lightweight plastic covers. Its powder-coated painted finish helps inhibit oxidation and provides added resistance to everyday scratching and chipping.
Unlike plastic plates that may crack, flex, discolor, or break when screws are tightened, the steel construction provides dependable coverage for residential, commercial, hospitality, and renovation applications.
Useful for Covering Wall and Tile Imperfections
Replacing damaged drywall or repairing tile around an electrical box can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. The expanded 5.5-inch-square coverage may provide a cleaner solution by extending beyond imperfections that would remain visible around a standard-size wall plate.
Common applications include covering:
- Oversized or uneven electrical-box cutouts
- Chipped ceramic, porcelain, glass, or stone tile
- Gaps between the electrical box and finished wall
- Uneven grout or caulk lines
- Old paint outlines left by a previous wall plate
- Minor drywall damage and rough wall edges
- Installation marks from remodeling or device replacement
Important Configuration and Fit Information
This is a specialty centered-device wall plate. The installed wiring device must be positioned in the center of the 2-gang opening or mounting arrangement. The wall plate does not move or reposition a device that is installed on the left or right side of a conventional 2-gang box.
Please verify the position of your electrical device before ordering. This plate has one centered decorator-style opening and is not intended for two side-by-side devices.
