Good afternoon,
I suspect that the answer to this question is 'practice', but it never hurts to ask.
I've been replacing our power faceplates with MK units - we're decorating and some are hideous, while others lack switches. The slack in the boxes is minimal, and the cable are obviously not overly flexible; that's bearable when there are only a couple of L/N/E, but an absolute mother-lover when there are three due to a spur.
I obviously can't solder the ends before blindly fumbling the wires into the plate, and I then spend an extra couple of minutes with a mirror and a few security tugs to make sure they are all secure.
Is this just something you professionals get handy at, or are there any tips/tricks? Also, could anyone recommend faceplates with internals that have a lower profile - for exceptionally awkward boxes?
