Q & A
Do I need a narrow electrical box to go with these narrow switch plates?
No. Standard electrical wall boxes are 2" wide and are recessed into the paneling, Sheetrock or plaster. Narrow light switch covers are typically needed when there are obstructions (moulding, cabinetry, tiling, etc.) butting up against the wall box or slightly covering it. The narrow switch plate will fit into the tight space between obstructions, covering the exposed part of the box. Consult an electrician regarding codes for your installation.
