Mounting an in use cover should not be a problem, as far as aligning screw holes is concerned. | |

I don't like making shopping decisions for other people, but here's a link to home depot: homedepot.com/s/While%2520in%2520Use%2520Cover?NCNI-5 Or just search for "While In Use Covers: | |
| Mar 25, 2016 at 18:00 | comment | added | DGS | Hi Ben, Thanks for your answer. About the white cover(on the right), there are many covers like this on market. But the problem is that they have standard receptacle ( Two 120V). What I need is one with just one 240V. Do you know any such covers? | |

And I posted the white cover (on the right) because it would not require notching because it is smaller than the outlet cover; but it is still a good point (that I did not say), that size is a consideration. | |
