First, place your order, or QUOTE ORDER on our website at this page https://www.arnev.com/send-us-your-wood-for-your-switch-plates.html, so we can see what you need us to make for the wood you are sending to us. Then we will email you how much wood is needed for the order.
We manufacture the USA Electrical Standard Decora or GF opening of 1-5/16" wide, by 2-5/8" High, so please make sure of your measurements before we start.
Wood requirements for us to manufacture for you
1. You will need a min. 48" long by 6" inches wide.
2. Your wood must be a minimum of 3/4 thick by 6" wide, and if it is 1" by 6" wide, that is even better to make sure the wood switch plates are completely stable.
FYI: All the wood we stock is 7/8 to 1" thick and we resaw it and get 2 boards.
3. You need to place a confirmed order or a quote order, WE WILL TELL YOU HOW MANY BOARD FEET WE WILL NEED TO MANUFACTURE YOUR ORDER.
4. Once we know what you need us to make, we will call you and give you all the information, and we will also send you an email to the email address you supplied with your order. Also, we will send the addresses where to send the wood, and we have two wood shops that we have set up in the USA, one for switch plates with screws, and one with only screwless, so see the addresses below.

This is the size of the USA Standard Decora opening size which we have been making for years.
Recently some companies have made much larger Decora Switches, Rockers, Dimmers, and Duplex Decora Receptacles.
They force you into buying and using their plastic switch plate covers.
We can make the opening to fit these larger sizes, but there is an extra charge for these new sizes from Hubbell, Lutron, Leviton, and others.
So please check your measurements, and we need to know if you are using some of these larger devices before we start to manufacture your wooden switch plate covers
These are the available styles:
We also offer Cat 5-6. Telephone, Cable TV, and many other low voltage switch plates.
You will need to call 800-260-1181 for sending your wood for manufacturing.
All wood sizes are about 1/4 inch thick, much like a regular plastic switchplate.
So check below for the overall size of each switch plate.
Our standard delivery time is 10-14 Business days.

For the smoothest finish for the painting of the wood switch plates, we can recommend an MDF type of wood, as many cabinet makers prefer this MFD type in the construction for the smooth painting surfaces and durability of the cabinets (this is what we have been told by many cabinet makers)
Coco-Bolo, and Hemlock wood types are not available with the supply chain in the USA, and will be back as soon as we can purchase more in the wood style we need.

SCREWLESS SWITCH PLATES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
See the installation video AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE
SCREWLESS SWITCH PLATES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
See the installation video AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE
WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR SCREWLESS WALLPLATES, THERE WILL BE A WHITE WALL HOUSING THAT IS IN TWO SECTIONS, MARKED FACE THE WALL, AND FACE OUT. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, AS THESE WHITE WALL HOUSINGS NEED TO BE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THESE TO BE SNAPPED TOGETHER WITH THE WHITE SECOND PART OF THE WALL HOUSING THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE BACKS OF THE WOOD WALL PLATES.
TO GET THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE AS FAR TO THE FRONT OF THE FACE SIDE OF THE WOOD SWITCH PLATE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SLIDE THE WHITE HALF OF THE WALL HOUSING INTO THE BACK OF THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE. HERE IS HOW THIS IS DONE.
1. FIRST TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE.
2. COMPLETELY REMOVE THE SCREW OR SCREWS THAT HOLD THE TOP PART OF THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE TO THE BOX IN THE WALL (THESE ARE USUALLY THE TOP SCREWS) AND SET THEM ASIDE.
3. NOW LOOSEN THE OTHER SCREW OR SCREWS, SLIDE THE WHITE WALL HOUSING TOP SECTION IN THE BACK OF THE AREA WHERE YOU TOOK OUT THE SCREW FROM THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE, AND PULL IT DOWN A BIT BEHIND THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE. NOW YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SLIDE THE BOTTOM PART OF THE WHITE WALL HOUSING PAST THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE. NOW PUSH THE WHITE WALL HOUSING IN THE BACK OF THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE BY PUSHING IT UP, SO THE WHITE HOUSING IS NOW THE IN BACK OF THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE. THE WHITE WALL HOUSING MAY NEED TO SLIDE LEFT OR RIGHT A LITTLE, TO LINE IT UP WITH THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE. THIS IS HOW THE FINISHED PRODUCT SHOULD LOOK.
OR 
BACKS OF WOOD 
4. NOW THAT THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE IS IN FRONT OF THE WHITE WALL HOUSING, SCREW IN THE SCREW, OR SCREWS THAT WERE REMOVED IN STEP TWO, AND TIGHTEN THEM UP SO THE SCREW CAN NOW GO INTO THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE AND THROUGH THE WHITE WALL HOUSING, AND NOW INTO THE BOX IN THE WALL. THEN TIGHTEN ALL THE SCREWS. YOU ARE NOW READY TO SNAP ON THE WOOD SWITCH PLATE COVER TO THE HOUSING, WHICH IS NOW ATTACHED BEHIND THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE AND MOUNTED TO THE WALL.
Before we ship, every one of our screwless wallplates are tested for a perfect fit.
SO PLEASE CHECK OUT HOW WE SUGGEST YOU MOUNT THESE SO THE RECEPTACLE IS AS FAR AS POSSIBLE TO THE FRONT SIDE OF THE FLAT SURFACE FRONT OF THE PLATE. IF YOU NEED SOME HELP, BY ALL MEANS, GIVE US A CALL AT 800-260-1181 AND WE WILL HAVE OUR WOOD CRAFTERS RETURN YOUR CALL AND WALK YOU THROUGH THIS INSTALLATION PROCESS.
Please note: White Oak Plain will not be available with the Screwless switch plates, as there is a Nationwide white oak plain problem at this time. Only Rift Cut White Oak and Quartersawn White Oak are now available for our Screwless Wall Plates.
