41652 QuickPort Floor embly, Two Blank Inserts, Solid Brass

This is indeed solid, high-quality brass. It's an excellent price for this level of quality. Looks particularly great on hardwood floors and easing to open for access to the outlet.

After 21 years, we remodeled the inside of our home, removing carpeting & replacing it with flooring. This was a great replacement for the old, tarnished one we had & we're very pleased with the way it fit & how it looks with the new vinyl flooring.

Somewhat hard to install with carpet but work great

We had our floors replaced and when doing so, decided to replace our in-floor outlet covers. (Technically, "we" didn't decide to replace them. My wife threw one away because she figured it was too gross to put back. I got to find a replacement and this was as close as I could get.)First, I have no problems with the fit and finish of these covers. They look and feel brass. The covers are solid metal.Second, they're not made to cover a power outlet. They're meant as a cover for what appears to be an ethernet connection.Third, in a pinch, you can make them work as a power outlet cover.What I did was take the plastic insert out. With a dremel, I removed the inside of the circle. I kept the remainder of the insert as cover of sorts for the outlet. I removed the screws that held the inside of the outlet in place. (I'm sure you could re-use those, but I used the ones that came with this cover.) I placed the plastic insert over the outlet and used the supplied screws to fasten the insert to the outlet and the outlet to the box. This way I could use the plastic insert to attach the cover. (In my case, the attachment points for the old cover required screws that were more narrow than the ones supplied with this cover.) Once the outlet and insert were connected, I attached the plate. BE CAREFUL! The plastic insert's nuts, or attached fasteners, are simply pressed in. DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON THE SCREW AS YOU ATTACH THE FACE PLATE! Use a flat head screw driver and allow the twisting of the screw to seat the face plate. (On the first screw, I pushed down with a power drill. I popped the nut through the plastic and had to use gorilla tape to hold it in place as a repair. That worked... but I wouldn't recommend it.)In the end, these are a great $8 replacement for a part that'll cost you $39.99 at Lowe's or Menard's.

The finish enhances the carpet floor
