We recently bought some decorative switchplates that are rather on the thick side. The standard toggle switches barely clear the front of the switchplate making it vary difficult to turn the lights on (the switchplate is thinner above the switch, so turning the lights off is not as big a deal). I've shopped all the traditional sources
- HD, Lowes, local HW store, etc. - looking for switches with longer handles. No luck. I've also asked for suggestions from some of the more knowledgeable from these stores and have come up empty.
How is such a problem typically dealt with? I've seen such switchplates available for years, so it's reasonable to assume that there is a solution to this. Anyone care to share?
Thanks, Mike
