For mounting a dual socket switch, or similar electrical fitting or accessory to a junction box, a method of stabilizing the mounting and a deformable shim adapted for slidable securement, one on each of two mounting screws, for pressed deformation between the fitting and the junction box to thereby rigidify the fitting in its attachment to the junction box as an incidence of the fitting\s installation.

A deformable shim for slidable securement on the shank of a mounting screw of an electrical accessory, between a mounting tab of the accessory and a utility box, including: a body member having oppositely-facing first and second spaced-apart bearing surfaces; the body member having integral deformable means interconnecting the bearing surfaces; and the deformable means being adapted to defrom generally inwardly toward the screw shank in response to force applied equally against the bearing surfaces by inward manipulation of the mounting screw as an incident of installing the accessory on the utility box.
