    Removed switch, hole in wall plate
    Hi,

    I removed a switch from a circuit inside a 3-gang box. Now I have a hole in my switch plate. I'm assuming there's something I can find that will be a kind of "dummy switch" and basically cover the hole in the switch plate from the inside. Does anyone know if such a thing exists, and if so what it's called?

    Removing the drywall and installing a 2-gang box is not currently a viable option, and I haven't been able to find a 3-gang plate with "decora, switch, blank" (which would be ideal, of course).

    Thanks!

    Greg

    No problem.

    Lowe's and Home Depot carry snap together sectional wallplates for this type of thing.
