I have 2 gang box and I need to expand it to 3 gang.
Looked at several videos on U-tube and others, but they all suggest removing the existing box and replacing it with 3 gang plastic.
Don't like to use plastic because the threads strip to easily.
I thought the industry made it simple to add another gang to the existing older gang-able romex style steel boxes ?

The existing boxes are probably something close to this:

The building is 40 years old. The boxes are gang-able, but how do gang and extra w/o removing the old ?

Thanks

Why not just put another single box above or beside the box that is
there now?

Do they make a wallplate for that? IDK
