Electrical switch question / does this exist

[hellbndr23]

This is a light switch in my new house, it drives me completely nuts. It's a 2 gang box. There is wood on both sides of the box. Without some work I can't expand it.

What I'm looking for is a 2 gang, 3 switch panel. Does this exist? The 2 outside switches are 3 way also.

All u need is a single pole and a double pole switch. And they do make the cover plate to fit them.

No. You could add a single box/switch above or below though.

[DarrellS]

You're stuck with it unless you add a single above or below as stated.

I'd twin two of them together before I lived another night in that house.

Luckily I'm not living in it yet. Just been working on it for a week, paint, flooring etc.

I think I found my solution. Triple despard switch with a rectangle opening beside it. One of those switches is for the dining room. I'll add a dimmer in the rectangle for the chandelier for some ambiance

Forgot the pic.

Are you going to have that much room on the box for all those wires and switches.

I would think you could move to the other side of the studs that it's in between and make it a three gang box.

Also top screw on left is crocked.

^X2.
I'd just move to other side of stud (one whatever side makes sense) and put the right box in for the job instead of setting for the configuration your showing.

Sorry I should have zoomed out a little more. This is on a pillar in the kitchen.

Why not just put the 3 gang box vertical?

What you posted doesn't seem any better than what you have.

Or add another 2 gang box above or below the existing box; use one side for a receptacle.

Despard switches are expensive, and a pain in the rear. I just wrapped up a job a few months ago where we had about a hundred of them. Space inside that box will be at a premium, be smart about how you manage your wires, and get them into there neatly.



So, are you wanting to fish another wire down into that box for the chandelier? That will be fun.

[hellbndr23]

My biggest issue with it is that all the switches dont go the same way. Purely OCD aesthetic.

Chandelier wire is already there. Just planned to add the dimmer in line.

I'd put a separate single gang box on the right side of that column and use it to control whatever light made most sense, location wise.
