Does any know of a narrow Decora-style switch plate? I can find other
narrow plates, but none that work for a Decora switch. For example, I
need an RN1 or RN2 as shown on this graphic, but with a Decora opening.

Thanks.

Check at your local electric supply shop - the place where the
electricians go, not HD or Lowe's. I'm confident that Leviton makes a
plate as you describe:

I wish they did...but Leviton does not produce ANY narrow plates.

Thanks anyway. I will try a local electrical house.



Time to get out the coping saw and file, unless you have a milling
machine in the garage. Take a standard narrow switch plate and open it
up to the decora size. Probably only take 1/2 hr. while you're watching
TV.


good idea, but he'll also need a countersink for the screw holes.
