Narrow Decora Switch Plate
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. http://static.zoovy.com/img/kyledesi...witch_plates_a Thanks. H |

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. |

(IIRC, there used to be "modular" type cover plates. By getting the right combination of narrow plates; it was easy to snap them together and make a configuration to match the receptacle/switch) Good luck. -- Oren ...through the use of electrical or duct tape, achieve the configuration in the photo.. |
