Socket & Switch 'Borders'
I'm sure I've seen these, but can't find them in the sheds.
Its a metal or plastic frame that fits around the outside of a flush mount socket or switch - they were available in various finishes. The idea was that if replacing old sockets with new & the new one was smaller, you could fit these to make up the difference. Any ideas? -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

You might find them in a caravan dealers. As I recall, the sockets are made by Clipsal so I assume that they also provide the surrounds. John Miller |

More really to protect surrounding wallpaper from finger marks since switches have been a fairly standard size for quite some time. Only ever seen them in one gang, though. -- *Never miss a good chance to shut up.* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
