Hello

You hit the nail right on the wire... I mean head with the plates. They are cheap insurance for not hitting the wires that are less then 1 1/4 inches from the face of the framing member. Use them liberally. Also ensure that the wiring in your boxes is tucked carefully in the back of the boxes. Gone are the skilled sheetrockers that actually knew how to measure and cut out holes for our boxes. They all use routers these days and the bits will make coleslaw of your wiring.
