Default Toggle switches

In ,
JIMMIE typed:
For aesthetic purposes I wanted to use toggle switches as
those commonly used on electronic equipment for use as
light switches in a room. Plan is to make my own cover
plates from brushed aluminum. What would the requirements
be to make these code compliant if that is possible,
The switches I have are rated for 120VAC @ 20 amp DPDT I
was planing on using these switches as for both the
single switch, 3 way and 4 way operation.

As long as they're UL or equvalently recognized (not approved - doesn't
apply to components) you should be fine even with electrical inspectors. To
make sure, give your local code enforcement office a call; they are the
final authority on such matters. You'll need the switch specs too.

HTH,
