UniversalPlate™ Adjustable Mounting Bracket System

A precision-engineered aluminum bracket kit with slotted holes (not fixed) that mounts to any standard junction box, then accepts standard wall plates via adjustable screws. The bracket compensates for ±0.5" hole spacing variance through elongated slots and fine-thread adjustment screws, eliminating drilling and guesswork.

Original Problem

Mismatched screw hole spacing prevents wall plates from fitting standard electrical junction boxes

DIYers and electricians encounter junction boxes with non-standard screw hole spacing that don't align with modern wall plate mounting holes, forcing them to drill new holes, use adapters, or abandon the installation. Current solutions require specialized knowledge, trial-and-error drilling, or purchasing multiple incompatible plates. This creates frustration, wasted materials, and safety risks from improper electrical box mounting.
