These cover plates are exceptionally useful in the event you are replacing a thermostat and damage, old screw holes, unpainted areas, or junction boxes are now visible because the new thermostat has a smaller footprint. My issue was that I had a vertically oriented thermostat that was mounted on an electrical box. My new Honeywell RTH7500 is horizontally oriented and would not cover over the junction box. With this kit, my new Honeywell RTH7500 thermostat was able to be mounted so that the junction box was not visible. These plates also come with a metal bracket that is specifically designed to mount over junction boxes, and then the appropriate sized cover and the thermostat then attach to the bracket excellent design. And, when everything is mounted, the plates are aesthetically pleasing they appear to be integral to the thermostat and not some piece of patchwork stuck up behind the thermostat to hide something.
If you need to cover up problems that would otherwise require additional time to patch and paint, these covers are for you.

I got this for my model rth2310b which is the basic 5/2 programmable thermostat from Honeywell (the one with the blue screen). This plate fits perfectly for our thermostat, hiding the hole in the wall behind it where the old round mercury one used to rest. I'm not sure why Honeywell doesn't advertise this as fitting more than one or two of their thermostats because the pre-drilled holes for both of the plates this comes with will work with many of their products. Also, the little raised surfaces around the holes work to help align the thermostat. Just thought I'd let people know that since there is nothing on their website that informs you.Best Deals on Honeywell 50002883-001 Coverplate
These face plates are definitely the easy way out and I'm all about that. We recently replaced two OLD thermostats with Honeywell programmable versions but ran into a little issue since the old ones were HUGE and the new ones were much smaller. We were left with big unpainted squares around the mounting boxes that had been drilled and anchored by the home builders who apparently took the easy way out.I was NOT looking forward to trying to match the existing wall paint and patching the big anchor holes then I came across these.. they look awesome under the thermostats and were very easy to install... gives the whole job a very professional look.
PRO TIP: Read the instructions guys... I skipped them thinking how hard can it be? You put the screws through the holes and screw them in.. well these really only fit one way and depending upon your mounting method you may or may not need the metal spacer... for my upstairs thermostat I didn't read that and ended up with it not quite flush with the wall... decided to read the instructions for downstairs and it looks better. The difference isn't really enough for me to take the whole thing apart again but it would have been a better job if I would have paid more attention to start.
