Where can I buy screwless wall plates cheap
- Thread starter htsource
- Start date
I've been able to find some on ebay once in a while but the HD price is going to be hard to beat (especially when to add shipping charges)
Sorry guys, I don't know how I came up with that $2, but it is supposed to be $5 each for single gang, double is $9. I'll look around. Will these screwless plates flush nicely with the drywall. Meaning I have some SmartLinc switches just barely fit the gangbox, so I have to screw in pretty tight so no gap between the switch plate and the drywall behind.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Can't help on the Lutrons, but I ended up going with Cooper Aspire screwless wall plates in my house. I felt they had a good look, and were easy to install. I picked them up at Lowes, and they were substantially cheaper than the Lutrons (but still not extremely cheap).
I'm not a fan of the Levitons, which I found much more of a pain to install.

I'll second MikeB's recommendation of the Cooper Aspire. I replaced all of the plates in my house with them recently and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. They look great and didn't cost a fortune.
Other than being a bit of a hassle to remove (though I try to remember blame Insteon that I had to replace the switch), they are way better than any screw plate I owned. In multi-gang boxes, the plates made it much easier to align the switches, making the finished product look that much better...

The link I posted earlier has them for $3.50/$7.50/$11.25/$15.00 for 1-4 gangs.
I have had no issues with them fitting flush to the drywall and I have them all over my house.

I third Cooper Aspire. The white has matched my white Insteon switches pretty close.
Well at least until SH/SL changes the color of white again.
Sorry, that was to easy to resist.

I was gonna say, for a while even the Insteon switches didn't match each other!Well at least until SH/SL changes the color of white again.

I thought that $2 price tag from Home Depot sounded too good to be true. I recommend Westside Wholesale. Their prices for Lutron Claro are 2.99/5.99/8.99 for the 1,2,3 gang plates. If you buy enough switchpates shipping is free over $149.
I have a combination of Lutron Claro and Leviton screwless plates. I like the look of the Claro better plus it does a better job of confomring to any irregularities of the wall. I have some wall plates that I have removed and replaced dozens of times with no breaking.
I also just recently sent off 2 dozen of the switchplates to have them engraved with identification labels because I can never remember which switch does what.

Well, notice I did say "my white" meaning the ones I have in my house.
I'm finally learning to write escape language in my posts.
Where did you send them? Back to Lutron or some 3rd party?
Found these, not sure if they're any good:
