Default 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.

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. (Invisible if you
happen to be wrapping them in wallpaper.)

HTH,

Jeff

Problem is 2 of the 3 toggles are the Levitons with the little dimmer
on the side.
