What Is a Grid Plate?

A grid plate allows you to create your own switch combination on a single front plate, rather than being limited to a standard fixed layout. Our grid plates currently go up to 4-gang.

How does a grid plate work?

A grid plate sits over a yoke or frame, into which individual switch modules are fitted. This lets you build a combination of switches — for example, a mix of two-way and intermediate switches — that wouldn't be available as a pre-configured, standard plate.

What's the difference between a grid plate and a standard plate?

A standard plate comes with a fixed configuration — for example, a 2-gang plate with two identical switches. A grid plate lets you choose exactly which modules go into each position, in whatever order you need, up to 4-gang.
