Where can I buy screwless wall plates cheap

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.

Where did you send them? Back to Lutron or some 3rd party?

After much searching online I found Lumen ID. They prefer to sell you their own switchplates when ordering but they just started accepting mail-in screwless since they are so much more expensive. Also they told me for safety reasons the screwless plates have a cover that stays on the wall to guard against exposed wires. For a while I was thinking of asking local laser engravers to do it but apparently it is easy to melt the plastic if they don't know what they are doing. Also the local engraves don't typically fill the engraving with paint like Lumen ID. I sent in the wall plates a week ago so I should be getting them back in another 1-2 weeks. I'm anxious to see the results.

Found these, not sure if they're any good:

These should be fine. Have to do the math to figure out with Canadian shipping and exchange rate how they compare with Westside prices.

We carry both the Lightolier and Leviton screwless plates. Personally, I like the Leviton ones better. They seem to fit better against the wall. I use them both in my house and in the office.

I'll check out one local supplier and see what they have. I'm actually from Canada so that online store might not be bad. Although I seem to like the Leviton ones better at Home Depot.

Martin I sent you a PM in regards to your x10 switches.

Thanks.

After I picked up some Lutron Claro plates from Rona, Home Depot carries the Leviton ones for half price of the Lutron's ($2.50 for single gang, $5.00 for double-gang).

I bought out all the single gang from Home Depot and Rona today! Ended up getting one "Cooper" brand screwless to try out. It's actually not bad, except I like the Lutron better as it's more square. The Cooper one is $3.29 which is a bit cheaper than the Lutron.
