Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Once the light switch is securely mounted and flush with the wall, snap the screwless Decora switch plate cover back into place. Ensure it clicks firmly onto the switch body. Finally, return to the main electrical panel and flip the circuit breaker back to the 'ON' position to restore power. Test the light switch by operating it to confirm that the lights turn on and off correctly. The switch should now operate smoothly and the cover plate should sit flush with the wall.

Goal: Complete the installation and verify the light switch functionality.

Boom. Now we have our switch flush. So, we just got to put the plate cover on and we're almost done, guys. So, as you can see, the switch is now flush, guys. Before it was recessed. Now, it is flush. So, all I did was add an extension ring and I fixed this customer's problem. You flip the breaker on and boom, guys. See, the lights are on and the switch is fixed. Boom.
