FAQs
What does '2-way switch' mean in relation to this product?
A 2-way switch allows a light (or group of lights) to be controlled from two different locations. This plate is compatible with 2-way switching, meaning you can wire it so a light can be turned on or off from two separate switches, such as at the top and bottom of stairs.
Are the actual switches included with the plate?
No, the switches and any necessary 2-way components are provided separately. This allows the installer to choose the specific type of switches and arrange them as needed.
What are the dimensions of this double plate?
The product dimensions are Height 86mm x Width 146mm.
Can I install this myself?
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. While the screwless plate is easy to attach, the wiring must be done correctly.
How do I clean the brushed brass finish?
Clean gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, use a mild soap and water solution and dry immediately.
Will this replace my existing 3-gang switch plate?
It is designed to replace a standard 3-gang switch plate, but its double plate size (146mm wide) is larger than most. Measure your existing cutout and surrounding area to ensure compatibility.
What is the warranty on this product?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it typically varies.
Troubleshooting

Check that the back box is correctly installed and flush with the wall surface. Ensure no wires are obstructing the plate.

Verify that the switch mechanisms are correctly seated within the plate and that no internal components are misaligned. Check for any debris.
Switch does not control the light.
Confirm that the power is on and that the wiring is correctly connected according to the appropriate electrical standards. If using 2-way switching, ensure both switches are wired correctly. Consult a qualified electrician.
