Abstract
A backplate for securing low voltage electrical sockets includes a flat plate with tabs formed, and adapted for repositioning, by first, second or third bend lines, and the tabs are adapted for bending to form a support bracket having a rectangular central opening surrounded by sidewalls with the contiguous tabs essentially orthogonal to the plane of the plate. The support bracket is provided with fastener holes positioned to remain in the plane of the plate after bending the tab. The tabs are provided with variously configured bend lines whereby the tabs can be repositioned behind a wall panel with a clasping action for securing the support bracket to the wall panel.
