FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the MK Albany Plus Grid Cover Plate?

Its primary purpose is to provide a stylish and high-capacity faceplate for the MK Grid Plus system, allowing up to 8 electrical modules to be neatly housed and controlled from a single point.

What does '8 Gang' mean in this context?

'8 Gang' refers to the plate's capacity to hold up to 8 individual MK Grid Plus modules.

Can I use this cover plate with any standard UK backbox?

No, this cover plate is part of the MK Grid Plus system and requires a compatible MK Grid Plus backplate to be installed in a standard UK backbox.

How do I clean the brushed chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. Mild detergent can be used sparingly, followed by rinsing and drying with a lint-free cloth.

What types of modules can I install with this plate?

You can install any MK Grid Plus compatible modules, such as switches, dimmers, sockets, data, or USB charging modules, up to a total of 8.

Is the mounting frame included?

Yes, the grid cover plate is supplied with its corresponding mounting frame for installation.

Troubleshooting

Plate does not fit correctly

Ensure you are using an MK Grid Plus backplate and that it is correctly mounted. Verify that the correct MK Grid Plus modules are installed within the frame.

Finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean the plate using a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.

Modules are not secured properly

Check that the individual MK Grid Plus modules are correctly seated and clipped or screwed into the provided mounting frame before attaching the cover plate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a high module capacity for extensive control.
  • Stylish brushed chrome finish enhances room aesthetics.
  • Durable construction with a protective lacquer coating.
  • Designed for easy integration within the MK Grid Plus system.

Cons

  • Requires specific MK Grid Plus modules and backplates.
  • Limited to 8 modules, which may not be sufficient for very large installations.
  • Brushed finish may require specific cleaning methods to maintain appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This grid cover plate is designed to be fitted onto an MK Grid Plus backplate. Ensure the correct backplate is installed first. The plate itself clips or screws into place over the mounted modules and backplate. Refer to the MK Grid Plus installation guide for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Compatibility: This product is exclusively compatible with the MK Grid Plus system. It requires specific MK Grid Plus modules (up to 8) to be installed within its frame. It is not compatible with other grid systems or standard UK backboxes without the appropriate MK Grid Plus backplate.

Care: To maintain the brushed chrome finish, clean the plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and then drying with a soft, lint-free cloth. The heat-cure powder lacquer provides a durable finish, but regular gentle cleaning will preserve its look.
