    摘要: A faceplate assembly may include a faceplate having an opening configured to receive an electrical device insert, and an adapter that is disposed between the faceplate and a structure. The adapter may abut a surface of the structure. The faceplate assembly may include one or more biasing members that may be configured to bias the faceplate outward relative to the structure. A first biasing member may include one or more resilient fingers. The fingers may be configured to abut a yoke that is installed in the structure (e.g., attached within an opening of the structure). A second biasing member may include a resilient spacer that is configured to be disposed between the faceplate and the adapter. The one or more biasing members may apply forces against the faceplate that may cause the faceplate to be biased outward relative to the surface of the structure.
