Description
The Knightsbridge 8-gang grid faceplate is a 148mm square screwless cover plate designed for modular grid wiring systems. Made from premium-grade steel with a matt white finish, the faceplate clips onto a separate grid sub-frame (GDS003F, sold separately) and accepts up to eight grid module inserts across two rows of four apertures.
Designed for installations needing multiple switches, dimmers, sockets or data modules grouped on a single plate, the grid system allows installers to configure each faceplate with the exact combination of functions needed. Common applications include control panels in AV rooms, consolidated wiring points in home offices, and multi-zone lighting controls in commercial spaces. The 148mm footprint is the standard 'double-double' size used across UK grid systems.
The screwless design means the faceplate clips onto the sub-frame without visible fixings, giving a clean finish once installed. The matt white surface is powder-coated onto the steel backing, providing resistance to minor knocks and everyday handling. The 3.5mm projection from the wall keeps the plate profile low, and the IP20 rating suits standard indoor dry locations. The plate coordinates with Knightsbridge's screwless switches and sockets range, allowing grid and standard accessories to be mixed on the same wall without a finish mismatch.

Frequently Asked
What sub-frame is needed?
This faceplate requires one GDS003F grid sub-frame, sold separately. The sub-frame fixes to the back box and provides the mounting points for grid module inserts. The faceplate then clips over the top, concealing the frame and fixings.
How many modules does it accept?
The 8-gang layout accepts up to eight single-width grid modules arranged in two rows of four. If you use double-width modules (such as some dimmer or socket inserts), the total count will be fewer than eight.
Is the faceplate compatible with standard wiring accessories?
No. This plate is part of Knightsbridge's modular grid system and only accepts grid module inserts, not standard switches or sockets. For standard accessories, use Knightsbridge's screwless switch and socket faceplates instead.
What back box depth is required?
The sub-frame and module depth varies depending on which grid inserts you use. A 35mm minimum back box depth is typically required for most grid module combinations, but check the specification of the specific modules you plan to install.
