Homeline vs QO

[billsinclair]

Hello, I have a 20 slot square D QO panel. It has a surface mount cover. I am going to be recessing it and drywalling around it. I know there is a QO flush cover and a QO combo cover that will work. However, I have access to a home line 20 slot cover but will have to ship it here. The dimensions are the same. However I don't know if the main and the breakers of a QO will match up to the slots in a home line. Can anybody answer this for me. I know I can just go out and buy a QO cover but I am on a budget and I'm looking for a way to do this inexpensively.
Thank you

That being said you need to stay with Sq. D not homeline, if the panel is Sq.D
