Q & A
Do I need to buy a narrow electrical box with 2.5" narrow toggle switchplates?
No. A standard electrical wall box is two inches wide and set into the wall surrounded by paneling, drywall or plaster. Narrow light switchplates are typically needed to cover the wall box when there are obstructions (trim, cabinets, tiles, etc.) blocking the area around it. The narrow light switch plate fits into the tight space between obstructions, covering the exposed part of the box. Consult an electrician about building codes in your area.
