Chrome Finger Plates

[zom414]

I'm trying to find some chrome finger plates for around my light switches. I've found plenty of white & clear plastic ones but not having much luck with chrome. Does anyone make them? If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be most grateful.

Explain a bit more what plastic ones have you found and where.

The plastic ones are everwhere in diy stores. Like you said, loads of door plates but not may for switches.

Thanks but done the google search thing and not much out there (one I did find was £25 - bit more than I want to pay). Just wondered if anyone had personally bought some and could help.

Right got it
I think Goldberg sent you in the right direction, don't be so tight

If you want it to look cheap and naff, try this stuff:

You could clean your hands and everyone elses as well then make sure everyone looks before switching

Or buy a job lot of white cotton gloves - gotta be cheaper than chrome plates.

Which will always look naff anyway with greasy fingerprints all over them....

I'm just wondering if those chrome plates have a separate earth terminal or if they just rely on being clamped under the switch mounting screws?

Which metal part, that isn't itself already earthed, do you envisage that a metal finger plate will come into contact with?
