A two piece face plate for wall mounted devices having a rectangular escutcheon is disclosed. An adapter plate having the length and width of the wall box opening is connected to the yoke of a wall box mounted device at the screw openings in the yoke plate reserved for the connection of the wall plate. Snap receiving openings are contained in the adapter plate. A decorative wall plate, which is free of mounting screw openings, has projecting snaps which project into the snap openings in the adapter plate. An internal flange extending from the wall plate produces a shadow around the periphery of the wall plate relative to the wall in which the switch is mounted. A plural gang wall box is disclosed which receives respective devices and respective adaptor plates. A common wall plate is snapped into position relative to all adapter plates.
