I want to mount this switch flush between two doorways onto a stud wall. Will I have to mount this on a metal back box attached to an inserted wooden noggin as there does not appear to be a dry lining back box for it?

Asked by: Glockinspeil
Hi Glockinspeil, Architrave switches were originally designed to sit on or in the moulding around door openings to avoid them being in plaster, so steel knock-out boxes and surface pattresses are the normal boxes produced for them.

Is this a direct replacement for a standard household light switch?

Asked by: Stevie777
Yes its just not as wide and it will fit a standard sunken back box not a wall mount box as obviously not wide enough.

in the read up you describe this switch as 2way. the photo clearly shows the back as 1way. which is it please ?
Asked by: stubro
Hi, thank you for your product enquiry. As you have correctly identified, the description for this British General 1-Gang 2-Way 10AX Architrave Narrow Light Switch White is incorrect as it is only 1 way (the pictures are correct).
