ABSTRACT:
An electrical wiring switch and receptacle leveling and protector plate includes a substantially planar base plate having an opening of a size to receive an electrical terminating component including a wiring switch, receptacle, or connector disposed thereon, a notch of a size to hold an outlet box mounting screw disposed an extent of an inner peripheral edge bounding the opening, and a gap of a size to receive a cover plate mounting screw disposed thereon offset below and aligned with the notch. The electrical wiring switch and receptacle leveling and protector plate also includes a substantially planar piece with a notch of a size to hold an outlet box mounting screw disposed on an extent of an outer peripheral edge thereof and a gap of a size to receive a cover plate mounting screw disposed thereon and offset above and aligned with the notch. Lastly, a mechanism is included for removably coupling the piece to the base plate within the opening thereof to thereby position the gaps and the notches of both the base plate and the piece along a common axis of symmetry with an electrical terminating component.
