Against dark siding, brick or a black fence post, a grey or clear cover stands out. The Intermatic WP5000BL is an extra-duty plastic in-use weatherproof cover in black, with Intermatic's shallowest 2.25 in single-gang profile. It closes over a plugged-in cord, mounts vertically or horizontally, and has a reinforced hinge and lockable hasp.

Pro tip from the counter
The 2.25 in depth is ideal for slim plugs, such as string lights, a pond pump cord or an extension cord's flat cap. Test-close the lid over the actual plug before you leave, because an adapter or right-angle cap may need the 2.75 in WP5100 instead.
Best for: dark siding and black exterior trim, string and patio lights, low-profile residential installs, modern home exteriors
