Abstract: A balanced coverplate for an electrical or communication junction box including an upper portion and a substantially aligned lower portion for storage of items on holding means such as hooks, pegs or magnets. The upper portion of the coverplate may conveniently supplant a standard wall outlet/receptacle cover plate or switch cover plate. The lower portion is primarily intended for storage of items and extends from the lower edge of the upper portion. A main portion plate of the lower portion is intended to guard the wall from contact with the items being stored. The upper and lower portions are substantially aligned with the fasteners captured by the junction box, so torque about each fastener is substantially minimized, thus ensuring the longevity of the fasteners and their respective apertures of the junction box while protecting the wall surface below the outlet and/or switch.
