Our Switch and Socket Box Extension Screw is a purpose-built fastener designed to solve a common and frustrating problem in electrical installations and renovations. When a wall’s surface is built up with new materials like tile, wainscoting, or an extra layer of drywall, the existing electrical box (cassette) becomes recessed, making the standard screws too short to securely mount switches and outlets. This specialized extension screw provides the extra length needed to bridge that gap, ensuring that faceplates can be fastened tightly and sit flush against the new wall surface for a safe, stable, and professional finish.

This product is an extra-long machine screw, specifically engineered for use with electrical switch and socket boxes. It features a standard thread that matches the mounting holes on most electrical devices and wall boxes.

Manufactured from durable materials like nickel and finished with a protective zinc plating, this screw is designed to resist corrosion and ensure a long, reliable service life within the wall cavity.
