4-gang faceplate
I want to add a switch to a current set of 3, so the new box will be
4-gang. Problem is one of the new switches is a timer only available with the "decora" rectangulat opening, and the other 3 will have toggle-style switches that need the normal small slots in the face plate. So, the question is if and where I can get a 4-gange white faceplate with one decora and 3 slot openings? TIA Ed |

You'd probably be better off changing your 3 toggle switches to decora.

Have you checked with your local electrical distributor?(Wesco, Rexel/Elgee, CED are a few of the national distributors). They should be able to order one for you if they don't have it instock. -- beachbum ------------------------------------------------------------------------ beachbum's Profile: http://homerepairforums.org/forums/member.php?userid=47 View this thread: http://homerepairforums.org/forums/s...ad.php?t=75303 This post was submitted via http://www.HomeRepairForums.org |

TIA Ed I've bought "roll your own" snap together single gang plastic switchplates of all different styles at Home Depot. They click together at the sides and the join lines are barely visible.

Problem is 2 of the 3 toggles are the Levitons with the little dimmer
on the side. "Matt" wrote in message ups.com... You'd probably be better off changing your 3 toggle switches to decora. |
