Description
Outlet Spacers for Loose Outlets, Electrical Outlet Shims and Plastic Shims for Light Switches
-
Outlets that sit firm: these plastic spacers fill the gap between the electrical box and wall plate for a firm, flush fit
-
Switches that sit straight: receptacles and switches stay properly aligned and level, and finished wall plates look cleaner
-
Exact depth every time: each strip can be folded, stacked or layered to match the exact depth you need
-
Electrical parts left undisturbed: non-conductive, wear-resistant plastic supports receptacles and switches without interfering with electrical components
-
Installs without fuss: no complicated tools are required, just tear, fold, stack and place the strip behind the outlet or switch
A loose or sunken outlet makes plugs wobble, and a recessed switch makes the wall plate look off. These spacers fill the gap between the electrical box and wall plate, so receptacles and switches sit firm and flush, plugs connect more securely and the finished plate looks cleaner and more professional. Switch off the power at the breaker before you start any outlet work.
Each strip folds, stacks or layers to the depth you need after tile, backsplash, drywall or wall panel installation. Use it as a wall outlet spacer behind standard outlets, wall switches and many modern smart switches, or as electrical outlet spacers for DIY and contractor alignment jobs, in 200PCS, 600PCS or 1000PCS packs.

Key Features
Here is what these outlet shims offer for fixing loose outlets:
-
Loose outlet fix: The strips correct loose, sunken or recessed outlets by filling the space between the electrical box and the wall plate, so receptacles and switches stay aligned, plugs connect more securely and finished plates look cleaner and more professional.
-
Stackable design: Fold, stack or layer each strip to the exact depth your wall surface needs, whether outlets sit too far back after tile, backsplash, drywall or wall panel installation, which makes it easier to adjust spacing, level switches and get an even finish.
-
Non-conductive material: The plastic is durable, wear-resistant and non-conductive, suits electrical box spacing and supports receptacles and switches without interfering with electrical components, a practical choice for safer outlet adjustment.
-
Easy installation: No complicated tools are needed: tear, fold, stack and place the spacer behind the outlet or switch mounting point, so homeowners, DIY users and contractors finish alignment jobs faster.
-
Value pack: Choose 200PCS, 600PCS or 1000PCS to match your repair needs, whether you are fixing a few loose outlets, updating several recessed receptacles, aligning crooked switches or tackling a larger renovation at home, in an office or on a professional job.
-
Tear-and-fold strips: You can tear off a strip, fold it, stack it and slip it behind the outlet or switch.
-
Works with smart switches: Many modern smart switches take these strips, and so do wall switches and standard outlets.
