My experience with the metal ones are they are electrically dangerous, so I wrap the devices with electrical tape to cover the termination screws.
sparkchaser,

I don't know if I understand what you are describing...

So far, I have been removing the duplexs from the wall and re-attaching to the wood for the new wall.

Like to know what you're talking about, got any photos?
