Good god man fix your screws! ;) #OCD

 

GET OUT OF MY MIND!!!  Seriously, after I posted the picture and looked at it, I realized this was the last plate in the house that I had not moved to the newer Insteon plates without screws.  I ran out of 3 gang plates.  Just ordered it on Amazon!

 

Forgive me my epic style transgression....

What wall plates you going to? I like the screwless style but then the plastic looks cheap.

No, I went with the outrageously expensive Insteon branded plates.  There are others like this, but I find the Insteon ones just fit better

 

INSTEON 2422-222

The Lutron Claro switch plates work well too. They mount really solid and tight.

 

They were cheaper 2 years ago, But in that time, they got more expensive, the insteons got cheaper... or both.

 

They are much better then the Leviton switchplates, home depot has them

Those do look nice Paul. I'm going to order a few now and see how I like them. Thank you.

 

If you look at the pix above those light scratches are horrible.

I like my screws all straight up and down, slots.

 

...and I prefer the screws. If somebody is going to hack into my Insteon system, I want them to be able to get at it with a screwdriver instead fo an axe because they don't know how to get the cover plates off.

 

It's a lot easier to repair.

 

 

I know Mr.Cold White likes to fill in, sand them off, then painting his screw heads, but that OCD? Wow!

 

 

Good God, Jim! I'm an Insteon programmer, not a professional decorator!
