Lutron Claro 2 Gang Decorator/Rocker Wallplate, For Light Dimmers, Switches and Accessories, Snap-On Installation, No Visible Screws, Satin, SC-2-SW, Snow

OK, I'm no electrician but Lutron switches and wall plates are the best thing going! At least that is my assessment from an albeit DIY, amateur perspective. Last year we purchased a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath condo that was built in 1975. Absolutley love the place but we have a perpetual stream of DYI projects. Replacing switches and wall plates as we go from project to project has become standard procedure. Were primarily using "Leviton" switches and oulets with whatever wall plates . . . some with screws showing, some without. When we wanted dimmer switches on two of the bathrooms, "Lutron" seemed to be the only one with CFL/LED dimmers. Thus I became familiar with Lutron. Now replacing switches, outlets and wall plates may not seem like rocket science, especially once the wiring is done but then you're left with the task of trying to make everything square and flush. This is especially true with "decora" style switches and even more so with "2-gang" set-ups. Sure electricians do this so often it's nothing to them but I've struggled in this area. That's what makes this Lutron system so awesome! Once you install the "adapter plate" over the switch(es) you can then make adjustments on everything, the plate and the switches behind because there are punch-outs that allow you to access those screws as well. Once you have it all perfect, you just snap the "face-plate" to the "adapter plate". Again this may not seem like a big deal to some but with other solutions if it didn't look right you have to remove wall plate to make adjustments. Two more notes: The face-plate is actually easy to remove if needed. Just use finger tips from the bottom (or top) and pull out. I'm sure long fingernails would hinder this step but aside from that it pops out easily. With all due respect to the other review, other brands of wall plates will work with Lutron switches and outlets. All screw holes are in the standard positions. However, why would you use anything but Lutron with Lutron since it all works so flawlessly? Additionally your white switch will match your white wall plate. In mixing brands there is a slight difference between the white shade or sheen. Extremely subtle in most cases and who really cares . . . Right? Probably only you when you step back to admire your handy work. Oh yeah, the Lutron wall plate has slightly larger dimensions than standard so it covers better too. All of my previous switch/outlet wall plate upgrades work fine and look decent enough but from here on out it's Lutron for me.

Wall plate looks clean and modern without the screws showing. It’s easy to install, but so difficult to take plates apart. It felt like I’d break it trying to take it apart.

Like the 1-gang version but for dual switches — same sleek finish, and no screws visible. Great upgrade for older or mismatched covers.

Great match for Claro and Caseta switches. Easy to use and lots of adujst-ability. Plus, they really look nice and dress up any switch. Gloss white is perfect color and texture match for both Lutron and Leviton. More affordable than local big box store, if they have them.

I recommend these Lutron Claro wallplates for use anywhere you have a Decora-style device (switch or receptacle) and want a screwless appearance. This includes Lutron switches and dimmers, as well as other brands (Leviton, for example). The finished appearance, with no screws visible, is elegant: clean and neat. I have used Lutron Claro wallplates, as well as Leviton Decora Plus screwless wallplates, and I prefer the Lutron because they are easier to install. The final appearance is similar, and they both have a two piece design with a base plate that is screwed to the switch, and a finishing plate that snaps in to the base plate. However, mounting the base plate of the Leviton Decora Plus wallplate is more difficult because the base plate is held by the screws that mount the switch in the electrical box, while the Lutron Claro base plate is attached to the device using the screw holes that are used to mount a conventional wallplate. After a recent kitchen remodel, I decided to replace the standard wallplates on the countertop backsplash with screwless ones. Since the switches and receptacles were all Leviton, I bought Leviton Decora Plus wallplates to ensure they would match. It took much longer to install the Decora Plus wallplates, because I had to loosen the mounting screws for the devices and then line everything up, than it has taken me to install Claro wallplates.

Works well with a Lutron click switch. No issues with product. Easy to install.

Decora devices cost more than cheap outlets and toggle switches, but that's because they are decorator items. You might expect to pay marginally more for wall plates because of that. But this is more than a typical Decora wall plate. It has an inner and outer section so there are no exposed screws, and has more elegant rounded edges. It simply looks nicer and more elegant. I ended up with single gang Lutron wall plates that came with their devices. I wasn't able to use them with those devices, but the quality of them made me realize that I wanted to get their two gang plates rather than cheaper ones that don't have the same elegance. Installation: For single gang plates, installation is about the same effort as for standard plates. But for dual gang plates, installation is easier than for regular plates. On the base part of the cover, there are four mounting screws that go into the traditional holes for wall plates. Between each screw and the opening for the devices (switch or outlet), there's a hole for the mounting screw for the switch/outlet/device. Normally, getting the mounting screws lined up can be tricky because if they are tightened all the way, then the plate might not line up on both sides. If they are left a bit loose, there's some wiggle room, but removing the plate for a final tightening can cause the devices to shift. With this plate, it's possible to leave the switches or outlets a bit loose, mount the plate on them, tighten the plate screws, and then tighten the screws that hold the switches or outlets. That way everything comes out perfectly centered with respect to the plate, the installation is easier, everything gets screwed down snugly, and in the end, all screws are hidden.

Clean

Really nice! Super easy to install! So much nicer than seeing the screws. Thinking of changing all my light covers now.

Es de muy buena calidad. Por eso ya encargue mas

Easy to install, nice look, luxury appearance, good value for money paid. Best if you can change them for the whole house or one floor at the time. We are very happy with. Strongly recommended. Good luck!

Easy to install. Not cheap but if you want the lutron screw less plates, it is what it is.
