Introduction

In this guide I will be walking you through how to replace an electrical outlet cover. Keep in mind some outlets have different looks but here we will be replacing a standard outlet with two ports. Stay cautious when replacing an outlet cover because electric currents are still running through them and can potentially cause harm if not handled properly.

Before you begin this repair, we recommend you to turn off the electricity in your household to avoid electrocution.
