An electrical device, comprising:
- a yoke plate comprising a first screw hole and a second screw hole;
- a base comprising a third screw hole disposed to permit passage of a first screw through the third screw hole and the first screw hole;
- and
- a subplate comprising a fourth screw hole disposed to permit a second screw to attach the subplate to the yoke plate through the fourth screw hole and the second screw hole, wherein the subplate comprises a channel to expose the third screw hole to a facial side of the subplate and to permit tool access while the subplate remains attached to the yoke plate,
- wherein the subplate comprises a window to frame a button that is attached to the base, and wherein the channel is an extension of the window and permits passage of a screwdriver to adjust a tension of the first screw from the facial side of the subplate such that adjusting the tension of the first screw from the facial side of the subplate permits positioning of the base relative to the subplate while the subplate is attached to the yoke plate, and
- wherein the base and the subplate are distinct structural members each directly fastened to the yoke plate by separate fasteners.
A device kit, comprising:
- a yoke plate comprising a first screw hole and a second screw hole;
- a base comprising a third screw hole disposed to permit passage of a first screw through the third screw hole and the first screw hole;
- a subplate comprising a fourth screw hole disposed to permit a second screw to attach the subplate to the yoke plate through the fourth screw hole and the second screw hole, wherein the subplate comprises a channel to expose the first screw to a facial side of the subplate and to permit tool access while the subplate remains attached to the yoke plate,
- wherein the subplate comprises a window to frame a button when the device kit is assembled, and wherein the channel is an extension of the window and permits passage of a screwdriver to adjust a tension of the first screw from the facial side of the subplate such that adjusting the tension of the first screw from the facial side of the subplate permits positioning of the base relative to the subplate while the subplate is attached to the yoke plate,
- wherein the base and the subplate are distinct structural members each directly fastened to the yoke plate by separate fasteners;
- and
- a faceplate comprising a snap feature to attach the faceplate to the subplate, wherein the base and the subplate are distinct structural members each directly fastened to the yoke plate by separate fasteners.
