I have a small job coming up where I'm replacing all the switches throughout a large house.
The house is ancient and the walls are covered in 1/2 inch tongue and groove paneling that has been stained brown for probably 100 years.
One of the switch plates is a standard, three gang toggle switch cover made of wood and stained to match the wall.
The plate is oversized by about 1 inch vertically and horizontally.
I've tried every local vender including the big home centers and almost every electrical wholesale house in the area as well as all the design centers.
No one carries three gang decora plates in brown and don't even think about picking up a brown, three gang decora goof plate.
I would have thought this wouldn't be such a hard item to get.
It's amazing! I can get any Bulldog pushmatic breaker ever offered, any F.P.E stablok, as many old swingjacks (buss plugs), Even a 1000 amp break before make transfer switch within one day and I can't find this one little switch plate to save my life!
What's this industry coming to?
