Is there an easy way to remove the top and bottom screw tabs from a box already fitted, I'm in a new build and I'm trying to fit a dimmer switch I bought from screwfix but it won't fit coz of the top and bottom tabs?
Hi, As the box is already in position the top and bottom lugs can be gently knocked flat. Be advised that dimmer switches generally require a deeper back box than a normal light switch. The depth of the required box will depend on the dimmer manufacturers recommendations. Screwfix stock a full range of Appleby back-boxes suitable for dimmers.
