ABSTRACT:
A cover assembly for a wall mounted electrical device enclosure includes a mounting bracket that can be attached to the enclosure and a cover plate that is removeably installed onto the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a rigid latch tang and supports an opposed resilient catch. The face plate includes opposed latch recesses. To install the face plate, the resilient catch is engaged with one latch recess and then is resiliently deformed to permit the latch tang to engage the opposed latch recess. The face plate can be removed only by first moving it in the plane of the wall to deform the resilient catch.
