A guide aligns electrical devices such as switches and outlets that are mounted in a longitudinal row within a multiple gang electrical box prior to mounting a faceplate on the electrical box in which the faceplate includes a row of apertures receiving face portions of the electrical devices respectively therein. The guide has a main body and at least one guide finger protruding from the main body transversely to a longitudinal direction of the main body towards a free distal end of the guide finger. The guide finger(s) have guide surfaces extending parallel to one another at opposing sides of the guide finger, spaced at a prescribed distance equal to an aperture distance between the apertures in the faceplate. The fingers can be inserted between electrical devices to align the devices relative to the box before mounting the faceplate.
