I really was afraid I was going to break the tabs and though there must be a different way. This confirms I was doing removing it the only way possible. THANKS!

Thanks not sure why Lutron didn’t mention this but thanks!

SUPER HELPFUL, THANK YOU! I really was thinking I was going to snap them!

Thank you for the informative video. I just installed a screw-free wall plate. Looks nice but now I need to adjust the plate behind it. Removing the cover plate is a pain.

Thank you for posting this!!! It is the simplest thing but I could not find how to remove the face plate anywhere else!!!

This was helpful, thanks! I was worried about snapping it as well, but it was easy to do without causing any damage.

Thank you for posting this video! It was *exactly* what I was needing!

[@ErikAsquith]

Hey Chuck, I'm glad this video was able to help you out!

[@Balconeswpg]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much!

[@ErikAsquith]

Balconeswpg you’re welcome and thanks for watching!

[@mrhyperbolic7455]

Perfect!

Thank you! How have these tabs held up to repeated removal?

[@ErikAsquith]

You're welcome and surprising yes. I have yet to break a single tab and I've had to pull many of them off and snap them back on a handful of times when changing switches, receptacles, and painting. They appear to be flexible enough, at least when they are newer, where the tabs are forgiving.

[@happyjc22]

Has it ever broken while pulling it off?

[@ErikAsquith]

All my wall plates are less then a year old. However, I have removed some of them 3 to 5 times for various reasons. To date, none of them snapped a tab or cracked.

I flush mounted my plate, do NOT like the double stacked plate look. BTW if you pull the plate off like shown in video you stand good chance of breaking the plate or pulling a screw out. Make sure you turn OFF breaker to switch before removing.

That was indeed hard to watch. The single one is a bitch and that's 4. Worse than seperating a keyfob to change battery. Thx for vid. Most normal ppl are gonna not know or be apprehensive. Directions don't even say shit.
