We were looking specifically for black matte face plates. Tried two other brands - unfortunately, both looked very flimsy, tacky and cheap, the quality of plastic was poor. With Knightsbridge - it is exactly as it should be: they are well built, look and feel stylish and sleek, the quality of plastic is impressive, the switch action is solid and very satisfying.When researching, we've read some reviews online that said that, being screwless, these face plates bent and wouldn't fit onto the backing boxes once removed. We've got around 15 different face plates by Knightsbridge, and we have found that they work absolutely fine: they don't bend and fit perfectly.

These feel like quality for a great price. The rocker action is solid and positive. The finish stays looking great and is quite resistant to fingerprints. The backs have a plastic gasket that keeps the metal fronts from touching the wall which is great if you have stone or brick walls that may have any damp in them (moisture against metal is never good). My electrician loves them and say that they are very well made. This company has an excellent selection of all types of switches and sockets. My favourite is the mains plug with the USB charger. Lovely stuff, great quality and value.They can lightly scratch if you really abuse it but I would almost call it a non issue. Very worthy purchase.

I have purchased a fair amount of products in this range. All great but I will say they are harder to install on older houses. I put these in a 40 year old house and the frame of the switch was warped as the wall was not very level after years of redecorating, once slightly warped the face of the switch does not fit properly and leaves gaps. The gap is not the products fault the the ease in which it warped caused it to look less than desirable. I also fitted these to a new build and they worked perfectly and looked great. I would buy again but I will be weary of the flexibility issue.

I always wanted an electric shaver socket and yes I know it would be easy to install but I never got around to doing it like many things. So we had a new bathroom installed from scratch and I thought now would be a great time to get one installed and the bathroom installer was kind enough to do it for us.I went for some black and sleek that didn't show the screws and now all the family are over the moon as they can use there electric toothbrushes as well.You will need to buy the back box which it mounts to however and it has to be 47mm of depth.Great Job and worth the money

Nice flush polished gold/brass switch. Like that screws are hidden and found it very easy to install. (Just remember to isolate the switch at the fuse box) Sturdy clips secure the shiny faceplate. Thin screw driver would be needed to remove the metal plate as there are two notches that cannot easily be seen where a flat screwdriver place can be pushed and twisted to remove the plate. Will really show finger prints, but as being used with smart bulbs it won’t really get much use as will just be left switched on.I have now ordered a second switch for the sitting room.

Really disappointed with our shaved socket - we’ve opened the packet and it looks used - it’s got a scratch but also very smudged front. Unfortunately we’ve not got time to order a replacement from elsewhere or request an exchange as our electrician is currently on site.UPDATE:Simon from Knightsbridge quickly got in contact with us and arranged super fast delivery of a replacement shaver front - we're so happy with the look of the product, however have noticed like another commenter that with a 240 output there is a slight hum - not the end of the world though!

Stylish and easy to mount. I couldn't understand how the facia clipped on from the pictures and reviews but it all became clear on receipt.The best way I can think of to make it easier to understand is- like a snap on hub cap but with 2 female lugs on the middle of the switch housing and 2 male prongs in the middle on the facia. These are heavy and solid units and really do have a feel of quality and a good satisfying click from the switch. A small negative point, very difficult to keep fingerprints off them and it can become a mad obsession to keep them shiny!

Gotta say, these are absolutely gorgeous!. they are really easy to fit, great price! but i had to knock off 1 star for the tactile "click" of the switch. the activation force is quite high for a light switch so you need a bit more pressure to turn it on/off than you might think. total non issue to 99% of people for if you have thin walls between you and your neighbour, they're gonna hear them clicking on their side! (no joke. out neighbours thought we were tapping our walls for some god unknown reason Ha!).

I love this product. Very stylishly made with a beautiful and expensive looking finish. I had to return this product but only because my electrician said that it could replace it with a working 3-pin socket. So I purchased the 3-pin from same company and it looks great in the living room and gives the place a more mordern look than the chrome fittings that I had before. Also very easy to fit with clear instructions - did it myself as I couldn't wait for my electrician to come back around.

Fitted this this morning in our bedroom- very happy with it- easy to install and looks amazing.Only criticism is of the packaging- i also ordered 3 sockets with the order, two of them here slightly scuffed as the packaging was only a flimsy plastic bag. My guess is that they rattled around in the parcel and scuffed eachother in transit- which would have been avoidable with better packaging.Overall though- the lightswitch looks awesome!

Slowly replacing all switches with these screwless brushed items.They are great quality with a solid switching mechanism. They are very easy to fit and the covers just clip on and aren't affected by uneven walls as much as other types I have tried in the past (which meant you have to have the base plate fully flat for the cover to clip on correctly).Upstairs is now done, just another 8 switches left to replace! Then onto the sockets!

These really do look the business. I ordered about £200 worth of switches, dimmers and plugs from knightsbridge all in matt black. Everything came quickly, was installed easily and is working great. No problems with the USB outlets. The only slight criticism is that the plug holes are a bit tight on some of mine so you do have to tug the plug out. They are brand new though so hopefully they will ease up over time and with use.

We ordered this to go with some other switches we had just installed as they didn't have the light on which these do. I was worried that it would look odd as it had to be placed alongside the other one and right up against it. Although it's not exactly the same it doesn't look out of place. The finish is really shiny and it looks really good. The feel is really solid would definitely recommend.

I have had these installed in my house for a year now and I am starting to notice that they do tarnish when hands come into contact with the switches.They do look great and wipe down well. I will keep a watching brief and see if I can by replacement front plates (as they simple tip on and off).Good looking product that makes a dull essential element of your property more visually appealing.

Nice and robust finish, unlike some other matt black (which scratches easily) this one just has a light lacquer to protect them but not glossy which still goes well with my matt black kitchen white quartz worktop. Unlike my nexus matt black sockets by BG, these one seems v well made and resist well to my builders blunt force. And my matt black ones r already showing some minor scratches.
