Will this work with switchplates that do not have exposed screws? My switchplates are the snap-on type with the screws behind the plate.

I have not tried, but I think so. It is at a different home than I am at now so u cannot check.

No... but I have some snap-on switch plates that needed these covers and I used velcro stickies to attach the cover to them. Works pretty well...

Are the screws in the same place, but behind the plate? If so, the magnets are pretty strong and could possibly hold. If they are in a different location, it will not work. The magnets are only slightly larger than the screws. They need to align. Hope this helps!

It depends on if the cover can make a magnetic connection. Try a refrigerator magnet or some other magnet you have around the house and see if it sticks. If it does, then the magnetic cover should work.

Hard to tell as I only have the screw ones in my home. The magnet's are pretty strong so they might work THROUGH the plastic cover...the best way to test this is if you have a magnet laying around (like on on your refrigerator). If the magnet will stick to the switchplate there's a pretty good chance this will work.

Yes, if the head boad is thick enough for the screws. The ON/OFF switch is on the box that has the goose neck and would be behind the head board. It might not be easy to reach.

I am unsure what socket plate you are talking about. There is a covered box for all wiring. If that doesn't help ask again. It was easy to use. Picked my location, nailed it in (nails included), inserted wire(no wire nuts needed), then ran it to my switch. No plate/switch included.

It does attach to the wall switch plate but you have to remove the switch which we don't want to remove. I would say a poor design. I have seen other mounts that allow you to hang the holder without interfearing the switch. As the other person answering states you would need to mount it in the wall.

It is not meant to do so but if you have enough room in the inside if the rail and assuming the holes line up it may work. Again, it is not meant to do so but if it lines up and you are able to tighten the screws nice and secure there be no problem after that. These rails are not set up like keymod rails so they will not have to slide in place like keymod rails.

You could attach a small drill with a on off switch and that would work just fine. I would use a block and a clamp so the drill doesn't move.

Nope. It was designed to be installed on the underside of a Pedaltrain-style board; there is a template with it to drill the screw holes in the right places. It's a "install and forget about it" device. No switches, knobs, etc.

Yes this uses standard rectangular faceplates such as those you would use for paddle switches and GFCI outlets

Yes; you have to have the kind of outlet with a center screw for mounting the plate.

They have to touch. If you need a gap, I use some high strength neodymium magnets. This gives me almost 1/2in gap. I do this so they don't smash together. In other words this switch works with any magnets.

Yes, there are side clips that snap into place hold the switch once it is in the hole. Mine are actually mounted inverted so they would come out very quickly if the switch didn't have the clips.

yes - if you use a rack - you can get a smaller rack to mount the switch - this switch came with "wings" that attach to the sides of the switch and those wings attach to the rack.

I ordered faceplates for running ethernet and stereo wiring. It does not work with faceplates with the screw holes in the middle

I agree with Edward and Pilot in that both pieces are the same size, the switch side depth being a bit larger due to screws protruding. Length, height, and depth as already said. However, when I measure mounting slot centers on this thing with a 6 inch metal scale, I get 1-13/16" center-to-center (or about 1.8"). So, two holes spaced at 1-13/16" (or 1.8") is what is needed for mounting. Also, measuring the slot width (for screw), slot width is about .12", so 3/32" (.094") screws will work

The remote has a surface mount base slightly larger than the cover plate and sticks out about an inch above the mounting surface. The base has a place for a 9 volt battery to be installed to power the remote so the thickness of the base is to allow for the battery. I don't see any easy way to mount using a 3-gang switch box. I think the base would be too wide to allow a cover plate for the other two switches and the remote would be on the surface of the wall and not mounted into the 3-gang switch box. Since it is surface mounted, you could mount it next to the 3-gang box but not in it.

The base plate has so many different mounting options I would be very surprised if it did not work. As long as there is a rack it will work .

This is just a cover. I have a plastic switch plate, yet the screws are metal. That's all it takes for this to hold to. The switch to the garbage disposal is on the side of the island and people turned in on accidently all the time by leaning on the island. This works great and prevents that.
