EAORBD Breaker Filler Plate for 1 Inch Load Center Flush Cover, with Electrical Panel Labels and Fuse Box Stickers for Universal Circuit Breaker Panel Cover 10-Pack

Why I reached for these filler plates

An open breaker slot is one of those small oversights that can compromise the “dead front” safety of a panel. I keep a pack of 1-inch blanks in my electrical kit for exactly that reason. Recently I ran through my last OEM blanks and decided to try the EAORBD filler plates. They’re sold as a universal 1-inch solution for closing unused spaces in common load centers, and the kit includes a sheet of breaker labels—handy for tidying up a panel while I’m in there.

After using these across a couple of panels in my shop and for a client, I came away with a clear sense of where they shine, where they’re just okay, and what to watch for before you rely on them.

Build quality and what’s in the pack

The set is a 10-pack of rigid plastic blanks sized for 1-inch breaker openings. The material feels like a good-grade insulating plastic—stiff, not brittle, with clean edges and no flashing. They’re marketed as fire- and moisture-resistant, and while I can’t verify the resin formulation in a lab, they don’t give off the soft, waxy feel you get with cheaper plastics.

The profile uses small retention features that grip the panel opening. That detail matters: the last thing you want is a blank that falls out when you pull the dead front. These have enough bite to stay put without requiring tools.

The included breaker label stickers are a nice bonus. They’re legible, contrast well, and the adhesive sticks to painted dead fronts and the inside of panel doors without curling. They won’t turn your panel into a work of art, but they help bring some order to a messy directory.

Installation experience

My process is straightforward:
- De-energize where possible and verify absence of voltage with a tester.
- Pull the panel cover/dead front.
- Snap the blank into the unused 1-inch slot from the front.
- Reinstall the cover.

On a Square D Homeline panel, the fit was excellent. The blank clicked in positively and sat flush with the dead front opening. With the cover back on, the plate stayed square and didn’t shift when I tightened the screws.

On a GE PowerMark panel, the width alignment was correct and the clip engagement felt solid, but I noticed a small vertical gap—roughly a sixteenth to an eighth of an inch—at the top edge of the opening. It still blocked access to energized components, which is the primary goal, and the cover fully concealed the opening. However, that slight gap is worth noting if you’re targeting a perfectly seamless look or if your AHJ is strict about panel cosmetics.

Durability-wise, I removed and reinstalled the dead front several times to see if the blanks would shake loose. They didn’t. The retention features still had bite after multiple cycles, and the plastic didn’t deform.

Compatibility and fit considerations

These are advertised as “universal” 1-inch filler plates and specifically call out compatibility with Square D and GE. In my use:
- They were a near-perfect fit in a Square D Homeline.
- They were serviceable in a GE panel, with a minor top gap.
- They’re not intended for 3/4-inch spaces, mini/tandem-only positions, or non-standard cutouts.

“Universal” in the electrical world always deserves a reality check. Panel openings vary subtly across manufacturers and generations. If you need absolute OEM-level symmetry or you’re working in a jurisdiction that enforces manufacturer-specific accessories, verify fit on your panel first—especially for Eaton/Siemens panels, older load centers, or specialty dead fronts.

Safety and code perspective

From a practical standpoint, these blanks do what they should: they close an unused opening and restore the dead front, reducing the chance of accidental contact with energized parts and keeping debris out of the enclosure. That’s the first line of defense for anyone removing a cover.

Two caveats:
- Listing and approvals: The packaging and product page didn’t provide a clear UL/ETL listing reference. Some inspectors and manufacturers require OEM filler plates to maintain the panel’s listing. If your work will be permitted or inspected, check your local requirements or use the manufacturer’s blanks.
- Scope of use: These are for indoor load centers. They’re not a fix for damaged covers, missing knockouts outside the dead front, or any enclosure that’s not designed for 1-inch breakers.

Basic safety reminders apply: de-energize if you’re qualified to do so, use a tester, and if you’re not comfortable working in a panel, hire a licensed electrician.

Everyday usability

What I appreciated most was the “install and forget” feel. The blanks don’t rattle, they don’t push out when the cover is tightened, and they’re easy to remove without marring the panel. The non-slip claim held up: when I took the cover off for a second look, the blanks stayed in place on both panels.

The labels were more helpful than I expected. The print is high contrast, and the adhesive didn’t smear or lift when I pressed them into place. They’re not laminated, so I wouldn’t expect them to resist solvents or heavy abrasion, but for a panel directory and a few breaker IDs, they’re more than adequate.

Value

A 10-pack provides enough inventory for most homeowners and plenty of spares for a pro’s van. The value proposition is obvious if you compare the per-piece cost to OEM blanks. Even factoring in the occasional slight fit variance, having a reliable, inexpensive stock of 1-inch fillers saves time and avoids the temptation to “make do” with tape or a makeshift patch—both of which are a bad idea in a panel.

Limitations

• Fit variance: On at least one panel, the blank left a small vertical gap. It still functioned, but it wasn’t cosmetically perfect.
• No clear listing info: If you need to maintain a manufacturer’s listing for inspection, confirm acceptability or use OEM.
• Narrow scope: These are for standard 1-inch openings only. They won’t solve tandem-only slots or atypical dead fronts.

None of these are deal-breakers for everyday use, but they’re worth knowing up front.

Who they’re for

• Homeowners and DIYers who need a safe, simple way to close open breaker slots.
• Electricians who want an inexpensive, ready-to-go filler for common 1-inch panels, especially when an OEM blank isn’t on hand.
• Anyone refreshing a panel directory—the included labels are a convenient bonus.

If you’re working on a job that will see strict inspection or requires documented OEM accessories, consider keeping the manufacturer’s blanks in your kit as well.

The bottom line

The EAORBD filler plates do the essential job: they restore the dead front on a 1-inch breaker opening, install quickly without tools, and stay put when the cover comes off. Build quality is solid for the category, the retention is reliable, and the bundled labels add practical value. I did see a minor fit discrepancy on one panel brand, which didn’t affect safety but did leave a small visible gap.

Recommendation: I recommend these filler plates as a cost-effective, practical solution for closing standard 1-inch openings in common indoor load centers, with the caveat that OEM blanks may be preferable where strict listing compliance or a perfect cosmetic match is required. For everyday maintenance, small upgrades, and keeping a panel safe and tidy, this 10-pack earns its spot in the toolkit.
