ABSTRACT:
A screwless faceplate assembly consisting of a single monolithic subplate component and a single monolithic faceplate component that is removeably attachable to the subplate component. Both the subplate component and the faceplate component have complimentary, respective, reversible co-engagement means only located adjacent outer perimeter surfaces thereof. The subplate component is metallized or otherwise reinforced such that upon installation against an existing, potentially non-flat or uneven wall surface, the proper position and spacing of multiple electrical devices engaged with the subplate component are maintained. Embodiments of the invention include a subplate component and a faceplate component, and, upon assembly, a screwless faceplate assembly.
