Abstract

The present invention concerns an outlet cover for mounting to an electrical box through the use of box screws, device mounting screws, or both. The cover, which may be made from die-casting techniques, includes a base having a raised body portion and a plurality of corners. Each of the corners may have slots, keyholes or a combination of either which are sized to receive a box screw for securing the cover to the outlet box. The raised body portion has a sidewall and a planar section. The sidewall spaces the planar section away from the four corners so as to recess the corners with respect to said planar section. A plurality of knockouts may also be used which permit the cover to be configurable to accommodate electrical devices such as toggle switches, GFCI outlets, duplex outlets, and circular outlets. The knockouts may face inwardly.
