I know that they snap in. They're not like residential ones.

Are you talking about the safety covers installed in receptacles to stop children from inserting things in the electrical outlet?

Some manufacturers use the same type of outlets as single and double wides, where the outlet and cover are one unit. I am not sure how they remove from the wall.

Some have snap-on cover plates, and others have the cover plate integral with the body and are not removable except with the entire outlet. That kind typically has a screw in two opposite corners and the screw loosens & rotates a "wing" on the back to allow the entire assembly to be removed from the wall..

One caution, do not remove the screws entirely or the "wing" on the back may disappear down a black hole. Don't ask how I know. :'(

If you posted a picture of them, we might be able to identify the type.

If they are the older Hubbell Wirecon devices, they can't be refurbished, but must be replaced. The newer Wirecon devices do have separate plates and are available in mor colors.
