Fitting new mains sockets

Ant,
I am trying to fit a new double mains socket at the back of the drivers seat on my Dimension. I asked you about this mod some time ago, and you suggested that I take a feed from the isolation switch,as long as I limited what I used the sockets for.
When I unscrewed one of the two screws holding the switch to the wall.
I found that it was a machine screw.I was afraid to take out both screws in case there was a box at the back which would fall down when I took the second screw out. Can you confirm that it's OK to do this?
Please forgive this trivial question, but I do not want a problem with putting the switch back.
Best wishes,
eugene.

Hi Eugene.
There is a box behind but Romahome tend to stick them in place before fitting the switch front so you should be fine. Once one screw has been removed and the second is slack you'll be able to see whether the hole box wants to move or not. I think you'll be fine.
