Default OUTDOOR ELECTRICAL BOX COVER NEEDED

What you should do is have them remove the bell box from the existing siding
and install a vinyl siding box and mount a standard vertical three hole
cover on it

Hi all,

About 5 years ago, I had the outside of my house painted, and the
a**hole
painter removed one of my spotlight box covers. It was a 3X5 cover with 3
spotlamp recepticals in it. The box is mounted to the house with the long
side
horizontal. I am having vinyl siding installed soon, and the salesman said
that
I should get a cover and spotlamps, and the guys installing the siding
would
install the cover back on the box. I would do it myself, but it is about
25 feet
up on the side of the house. I don't do well on ladders that high.

Here's the problem. All the box covers I find have 3 threaded holes
arranged horizontally if the box is vertical. My box is mounted
horizontally, so
I need the 3 holes arranged the opposite way---the long way. I can't find
a
cover like that--locally or on the internet. Does any company make a box
cover
like that---with the 3 holes arranged the long way ???
