So there is two outlets on this wall, both are pretty old so ideally I'd replace them both. I generally get the process of swapping out the outlet itselt - turn power off at breaker box, double check it is off, triple check, swap cables, turn power on.

The thing I am a little more unclear on is how these things actually connect to the wall again. There's a plastic outer edge to the hole in the wall and i'd guess the two metal prongs are supposed to clip in there somehow. If I replace it is there a specific outlet type to look for? Will it just clip in to the existing hole?
