I need a breaker box cover the will fit the existing box, but now
that the wall has been finished the wall is about 1 -1.5" out in front
of the box. Where can I find a box cover that will fit the box but
the flange be in front of the wall ?

Thanks

Sid.

Any electrical distributor can order you one from the manufacturer..
You may need extra long mounting screws to compensate for the extra
wall thickness.

So, the circuit breakers will be an inch and a half back from the panel
cover!!

Joe, Thats what I thought, but I was not finding anything like that
on my web searches.
(I was sure I had seen them before, but did not remember where)
The box is SquareD 40 breakers (pretty generic I think).
Is there anyplace to order one online, or would the cost be
unreasonable ?

Some Square D covers can be purchased separately, however as RBM mentions
the breakers will be too far back. Also you cannot have that much drywall
exposed on the edges to the interior of the panel. Put the cover on set
back in the wall. Check the panel label for the correct cover model number
and contact a Square D distributor. The Square D web site has their
complete catalog online, but it is a little confusing to find things..-

When I search Square-Ds' E-Catalog for panel covers, I get 1004
hits.
What term do they call a panel cover like this ?

Was the link broken or did I miss something ? *All I saw was standard
boxes. Nothing about speciality covers.- Hide quoted text -

If understanding the problem correctly we would go and see a handy
sheet metal worker to have them make a special 'dished' cover of
sufficient size to extend out over and around the protruding wall, but
with the cut out aperture for the breakers set back by that one to 1.5
inches. Probably requires some careful measuring. Estimated cost
probably $25???? *Made to measure, eh?- Hide quoted text -

BTW we have three square D panel in this house; but the two that are
in
finished walls are; a) Set in such a way that they are flush with
the
plasterboard. b) The circuit breakers if I recall correctly can be
'levelled' slightly to allow them to line up with the panel covers.
Good luck.
