Troubleshooting
Surround does not sit flush against the wall.
Ensure the original socket or switch faceplate is securely tightened to the wall box. Check for any debris behind the surround or faceplate that might be preventing it from sitting flat.
Screw holes do not align perfectly.
This surround is designed for standard fittings. Slight adjustments might be needed when tightening screws, or ensure you are using the correct screws for your original faceplate.
White finish appears scratched.
Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for plastic surfaces. For minor scuffs, try a magic eraser very gently, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
