CP3540-1C Ceiling Box Cover Plate for 3-1/2" & 4" Boxes, Paintable

We had 2 unusually sized ceiling junction boxes and after searching our local hardware store for hours I stumbled upon these. Problem solved! I was able to mount these to those oddly sized junction boxes very easily. And they can be painted, so they blend fairly well into the ceiling. Of course they remain visible, but they are not nearly the eyesore that having mismatched covers were. And there are no visible screws so in my opinion these are a cleaner install than those mounted with screws. With these there is a plastic bracket that mounts to the box (which bracket is very versatile as far as sizing of the box goes) and then these just "snap" into that bracket. And if we need access to the wiring in those junction boxes it is simple to do so. I can have these down in seconds without tools. And then just as easily they go back up in seconds. In fact our electrician had to remove and replace the one next to the light fixture in order to mount that box, and gave us a "thumb's up" for using them. They are not flush with the ceiling, but again, they are quite easy to remove and replace, fit the boxes very nicely, and were simple to install with just a screw driver. If you have a junction box of odd size these could work for you, too!

Exceptional fix. Works perfectly.

I've used this cover several times now and I really like how clean it looks. There is a big difference when there aren't any visible screws in the cover plate. My biggest issue is the screws that are provided. They are not a standard bit shape and strip easily.

Whoever built my house was a cheapskate, they used substandard materials including odd sized junction boxes. There was an open junction box on the ceiling. I've never found a cover that was able to fit. And I spent a lot of time looking for one that would hit the exact dimensions. I bought this kit, drilled a new hole through the mounting piece, and now it fits perfectly. Once the cover is in place, it looks like it was always meant to be there.

Good quality item, not like some of those other thin & flimsy plastic discs. The circle is large enough to cover a standard light hole and any imperfections around it. The plastic has a little texture on it so if you don't have popcorn ceilings it may stand out a little more. It also isn't a snow-white color. More like a dirty white, which is perfect for ceilings that haven't been painted in a while....LOL Easy to install. Great buy.

Had a 4" electrical hole from a fan - but area around it was messed up too - this covered it and allowed me a little flexibility in the placement. Not sure it can come on and off a lot of times (just plastic) but for a one time cover up it's perfect. Went plenty flush against a highly textured ceiling. Needed longer screws but size screws (bolts?) for ceiling boxes is pretty standard so had some around. Worth a try if the hole is driving you nuts! Paintable without priming.

An electrician had installed two of these in our enclosed porch, and when we had some remodeling done, it was removed and not replaced. Apparently the mounting bracket had broken as the remodeler had left the cover but there was no way to re-mount it. After searching all the local hardware stores and big-box stores, I found this on line. I had to buy the entire kit just to get the mounting bracket, but it is a reasonable price. The only drawback is that the mounting screws were too short, and I had to find longer mounting screws.

Looks good. Fast install. The screws that came with it didn't work with our box but it's likely that's just our house. We used wood screws to get a bite. Our house is 200 years old, we find some crazy stuff here. So i was especially surprised it installed so quickly and without the typical fist fighting repairs usually take!

Excellent. Wanted the item to cover a hole in the ceiling after a light fitting had been removed.

My electrician covered a junction box with one of these and since then I've replaced all the others in my house with them. They are so much nicer looking than the steel ones I had before, even painted white they are not that attractive. These plastic ones are simple to install and have different screw hole placements so they can fit a couple of sizes of boxes. One draw back is using them on textured ceilings, they don't sit absolutely flush as they would on a flat ceiling but it doesn't make much of a difference to me because I like the look of them so much.

Fit perfectly over an older/smaller box. Easy to install and paint over.

Looks good. Easy install

arrived before the expected window period; I expected that the holes on the stud would definitely be bigger than the holes/screws in the socket that I'd like to cover up, but as the cover is light, you can use whichever side of hole of the two on the stud, then attach the cover; as it's light it can hold up fine.
