Choosing Knightsbridge Screwless Switches, Sockets & Wiring Accessories

Plan the room point by point, and use one finish code so the screwless faces match.

The screwless look

SF and SFR plates such as the SFR9000MW socket and SF2000MW switch are low profile with a built-in gasket, and the SF2GPC faceplate has a sleek appearance without visible screws. Finishes include matt white, matt black, anthracite, brushed chrome, polished chrome, polished brass, antique brass, smoked bronze and black nickel. Some codes add an insert colour, such as the grey insert on the SFR9000PCG.

Switches and dimmers

Light switches include 10AX 2-way plates such as the 1G SF2000MW, 2G SF3000MW, 3G SF4000MW and 4G SF4100MW, with a 6G SF4200AB in antique brass, and intermediate switches such as the SF1200MBB give 3-way control. Intelligent dimmers such as the SF2193MW switch between trailing-edge and leading-edge modes. Key card switches such as the SFCARDMW are rated 32A with a backlit arrow for hotel rooms.

Power points and outlets

Sockets include 2G double pole models such as the SFR9000MW with twin earths, unswitched sockets such as the SFR7000UMW and 5A round pin sockets such as the SF5AMW. Switched fused spurs such as the SF6300NMW add a neon indicator, and the SF8900AT is a dual voltage shaver socket rated IP41. Media outlets include the SF0100MW TV outlet, the SF0140MB isolated TV and satellite outlet, the SFRJ45MW CAT5e network outlet and the SF7400MW telephone extension socket.

Modular and Grid plates

Modular faceplates such as the SF1GMW take one 25 x 50mm Euro module, and the SF2GPC takes two of those or a single 50 x 50mm module. For a bank of switches, screwless Grid faceplates such as the GDSF006MW go over Grid mounting frames such as the GDS003F, which takes 6-8 modules.

Frequently asked questions

What is a screwless switch?

A screwless switch has a faceplate with no screw heads showing on the front. Fixing screws still hold it to the back box, but a cover or concealed fixing usually hides them, giving a clean, flat face that suits decorated walls. Screwless plates often have a metal finish with a matching rocker. The range here includes screwless light switches, dimmers and fused spurs.

Do screwless switches and sockets suit a modern home?

Yes, screwless switches and sockets suit a modern home because the plain face has no screw heads to break up the finish. Low profile metal plates sit close to the wall, and matching rockers keep the look consistent. Choose one finish and keep it for the sockets, switches and outlets in a room. The range here includes sockets, switches, dimmers and media outlets in several metal finishes.
