After cutting out the hole, place the panel on the wall, to check if the fit is right. Use your hands to bend the cut out area back and forth till it snaps. Then, make a deeper cut along the guide line. For thicker panels, first cut lightly to form a sort of guide line. If you are using a thin panel, you will be able to cut right through it. You can also use a utility knife for this purpose. Once you have your square/rectangle marked out, use a jigsaw to cut out the panel. While this is a more convenient method, it is often not as accurate as the first one because even a slight shift can result in an incorrect imprint. Once you have the imprint, you’ll know exactly where to cut. Make sure you place the panel exactly in the same manner as you would when finally installing the panel. Then, place the panel flat against the outlet and press down so that the chalk or paint forms an imprint on the back of the panel.
For this, simply outline the perimeter of the outlet with chalk or paint. Method Two: There is another method to draw the square/rectangle on the panel that you will be using. Measure the outlet, and by using the already marked distances, draw a square/rectangle on your current panel.
Mark this on the panel that you will be using. You will also need to measure the distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the outlet. Measure the distance from the last panel used to the left edge of the outlet, and mark this distance accordingly on your current panel.
Make sure to mark this from the top of the panel and on the back face.ĭo the same for the left side of the outlet. Mark this distance on the panel you will be using. Start by measuring the distance between the top edge of the outlet and the edge of the last panel above the outlet. Method One: In order to cut the panel correctly, you first need to make the right measurements.
