Thanks Greg,
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
but I am replacing it with the standard type.
They are always so hard to press the back cover on using two hands & no other hand to use the channel locks unless you know another easy way to do it.
Tried to find a video online to see how the easier way to do it
You guys should add more videos about projects like mine pressing those back plates on.
I do like all the other videos & thay do help.
Keep it up!
The double gang box has the little flaps to house the standard switches.
I wonder if the best idea is cut the black power wires & push them into the small holes in the back of the switches of use the side copper & silver screws instead.
I worry the wires might come loose over time.
If I can do it I will upload some pictures of the project soon,
Always have problems in that area uploading pictures to a direct post.

The other project I posted about the wall receptacle falling out & torn out of the wall, I just used side flat trim & glued them behind the wall so the little flaps would hold the box in place.
Thanks again!
