strung together this: Hi hope someone can help need to extend the box on a light switch so as to be able to use a dimmer switch in an existing shallow box. back to back with another switch so can not sink a deeper box If you can't go further back you'll have to go further forwards. Oh, hang on, you already knew that bit. You'll need an extension box. Oh, hang on, you already knew that bit. Er, I've run out of things to reply to now. Did you have a question or were you informing us of the works you were commencing? -- SJW Please reply to group or use 'usenet' in email subject |

The frame can be fixed to the box in the normal way, and the dimmer to the frame, again in the normal way. If the dimmer needs horizontal screws rather than vertical, you can drill out the threads in the frame and use long screws. Haven't seen them in the sheds - and I don't think TLC stock them. Find a wholesaler with an MK catalogue and look them up. -- *On the other hand, you have different fingers. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
