Screwless & Face Plate

A modular faceplate carries separate Euro modules for power, USB, data or media in one plate. This range includes Knightsbridge screwless and flat plate modular faceplates from 1G to 6G, multimedia combination plates, a screwless USB socket and fan isolator, in finishes including matt white, anthracite and polished brass.

Choosing Screwless & Face Plate

Choose a faceplate by the number of modules it must hold, the profile you want on the wall and the finish of the room's other accessories.

Screwless or flat plate

Screwless faceplates, the Knightsbridge SF range, hide their fixings for a plain surface. Flat plate faceplates, the FP range, are ultra low profile, sitting close to the wall. Faceplates such as the SF2GMW and FP2GPB take standard Euro modules in 25x50mm and 50x50mm sizes.

Module count

1G, 2G and 4G faceplates suit everyday positions, and the SF6GAT is a 6G plate built as 2G + 4G at 235mm x 87.5mm for a desk or media wall. The SFR298 screwless multimedia combination plates combine 13A power with space for up to 8 Euro module inserts, and the SFR298BCW and SFR298MBB state 2 x 2G double sockets with twin earth.

Profile and depth

Screwless modular faceplates such as the SF1GMB, SF4GMW and SF6GAT state a 12.3mm depth, and several state their material, such as SPCC steel on the SF1GMB and 201 stainless steel on the SF1GSB.

Frequently asked questions

How do screwless sockets and faceplates work?

A screwless faceplate has no screw heads on show, leaving a plain surface. Knightsbridge SF faceplates, such as the SF1GMW, have a screwless, low profile design.

What is the difference between flat plate and screwless switches?

Flat plate describes the profile: a thin plate that sits close to the wall, such as the Knightsbridge FP ultra low profile range, with a built-in gasket. Screwless describes the fixings, which are hidden from view, as on the Knightsbridge SF range.

What is a modular faceplate?

A modular faceplate is a frame that holds separate Euro modules, so one plate can carry a mix of outlets such as power, USB, data, TV or HDMI. Knightsbridge modular faceplates accept modules in 25x50mm and 50x50mm sizes, in 1G, 2G, 4G and 6G plates.

What is a multimedia combination plate?

It combines 13A power with space for Euro module inserts on one plate, for a TV wall or desk where power and media outlets sit together. The Knightsbridge SFR298 screwless multimedia combination plates take up to 8 modules, in brushed chrome, matt black and smoked bronze, and the SFR298BCW and SFR298MBB state 2 x 2G double sockets with twin earth.

What does Part M compliant mean on a faceplate?

Part M of the Building Regulations covers access to and use of buildings, and Part M compliant accessories are designed to be easier to see and use. The Knightsbridge PM2G and PM4G modular faceplates are described as Part M compliant, in anthracite with an anti-microbial finish.

What finishes do screwless faceplates come in?

Knightsbridge screwless modular faceplates come in matt white, matt black, anthracite, smoked bronze, polished chrome and polished brass, and the multimedia plates in brushed chrome, matt black and smoked bronze. Choose the same finish across switches and sockets in a room so the plates match.

What size are Euro modules?

Euro modules come in 25x50mm and 50x50mm sizes, and the Knightsbridge SF2GMW 2G and SF4GAT 4G faceplates accept 25x50mm and 50x50mm modules, so one plate can mix narrow and square modules. Plates come in 1G, 2G, 4G and 6G, and the 6G SF6GAT is built as 2G + 4G at 235mm x 87.5mm.

Is there a metal clad modular faceplate?

Yes. The Knightsbridge M2G is a heavy duty metal clad 2 gang modular faceplate in powder-coated silver/grey, Class I, for positions that need a heavy duty plate. It takes the same Euro modules as the screwless and flat plate faceplates.
