I am thinking of changing my sockets & switches out as decorating the lounge and the existing ones are looking faded and sad. I was going to reinstall MK logic plus but these new polished chrome units caught my eye. Crabtree do them but I understand the screws supplied are a bit short if the boxes are sunk deeper than surface which is the case on some of mine and if you use longer srews the heads dont sit flush under the plates so plates wont fit properly.

Any downsides to screwless fittings and any feedback welcome on choice and whether there are any better ones out there. I notice screwfix are doing some by a company called LAP but not sure on quality.
