Default 2 gang switch in double box

No such thing, really. They come in different depths, and grid switches
require deeper boxes than plate types.


The official boxes might be deeper. However, there is no need for all
that depth when fitting a 2 gang switch plate to a double box.


Most plate switches will fit in plaster depth (16mm) boxes - nasty things.
Grid switches require a deeper box - normally at least 25mm, as do many
dimmers.
Hence I never use plaster depth boxes. ;-)
