Levelling socket faceplates

[WabbitPoo]

Despite my best efforts, somehow 2 back boxes in my newly plastered and decorated room are not level, to such an extent that the slight leeway the lugs give is not enough to make things right. I'm not saying the boxes are at like 45 degrees or something,! but a degree or two beyond the wiggle room the lugs give me.

Are there clever little doo-dahs that could be used to adapt the lugs so they lie level? If not, could someone invent them, pronto, before the wife kicks off.

Long term solution is to get the box itself level.

Some fancy sockets you may have in the future are designed so bulkily at the back there is no room for adjustment.

You could try trimming the plaster round the box out on say the top right corner and the bottom left corner with a multi-tool, then tap the bottom left corner of the box downwards with a hammer and screwdriver.

(Or the opposite, if the box is crooked the other way!)
