Is that long screw at center of the plate necessary or can that screw be removed?

The screw at the center of the plate is not necessary, it's just a way to secure the unit to the outlet it's plugged into. This may be helpful when you have all six outlets plugged in and you don't want to inadvertently pull the whole thing out by pulling one of the cords out.

You can remove the screw, but it's what holds the whole unit in place securely. It will stay plugged, but with the screw it holds it in place in the wall. You just remove the current switchplate and put this on in place of it.

That door plate is to keep the door from getting scratched u the stopper, nothing more. Those screws are probably 3/4" inch? It's been a while.

Took a look, and there is no indication that the baseplate, that incorporates the locking lever, is removable. There is a hex screw that is accessible from the front of the grip that might be the first step to disassembling the center post, but I didn't try it. I will say, however, that I am very pleased with the construction and functionality of this unit, and would buy it again.

No, you don't have to buy a separate screw. That plate has a screw attached to it.

Yes, As long as you have a 1/4-20 attachment screw. I don't think it's a perfect solution for that, however. There are several 1/4-20 holes in the bottom of the plate, just nothing particularly centered...

The part comes without the screw. It's best to keep all the screws from the old setup.

The cover plate is removed, the new unit comes with an extra long center screw to hold it in place when you unplug an appliance.

I would avoid this altogether. When mine showed up in the mail, I pulled the release lever and the plate came out, but so did the spring and other parts. It was unusable from the second I got it.

Honestly, I don't think you'd need to. It is surprisingly fast and accurate. Inspecting mine, I see that there's no screws, so unlikely that you could modify it.

Aloha, because I gave it as a gift to my husband, I never had to remove the screw. However, I do recall that he had to put his fist behind where the screw was and then press hard with the screwdriver to release the overly screwed in screw. Hope that helps.

Yes, it can be removed. Just keep your original two screws that were originally in the shotgun.

I don't know. The screw seem standard but I have an older version... about 7 years old.

U t seems like the problem is still exist. after I remove the plate for cleaning. it seems to be impossible to get it fit back in perfectly like it was. especiallt the bottom plate. I am quite disappointed with their craftmanship..

In my case there was no need. I just removed the screw and slipped it into the handlebar.

You many need anchors for the screws depending on where it will be placed. The plate and screws are included.

That is exactly what I did. It wasn't an exact fit at first, but with a little work it fits fine now(don't change out your existing plate). I didn't have to re-drill or cut anything.

My answer verifies the others - both. Using the screws is best although a little more time consuming.
