In an effort to have a switchplate with no exposed screws we have figured out a way to use small magnets glued to the backside of the switchplates to hold them in place.  The magnets that we are using are some of the strongest available to ensure everything stays in place.

 Some dimmer switches use aluminum frames which the magnets don't stick to.  The solution for this is to install steel shims that we make behind the switch for the magnets to attract to.  Cable or phone plates also have this problem.  For this we can supply extra magnets that you can then glue in place.  Both of these procedures are explained on the Installation Tips page.

 
                    
   

Here we have a magnetic switchplate next to a standard screwed on plate.

Here is an order of magnetic sandstone switchplates.
 
Here are some common switches and a receptacle that have steel frames that the magnetic switchplates work on.  

These dimmer switches have aluminum frames that are not magnetic and will need our steel shims installed behind them.
