2-gang intermediate switch

Get yourself a 2 module grid yoke, 2 intermediate modules, and the front plate of your choice......probably logic plus assuming the rest of your stuff is white MK.

Unfortunately MK in a cost cutting exercise have made their 1 and 2 gang 2way plate switches very tacky, and they no longer match their 3/4/6 gang switches, or their grid range. Shame really.

 

if you can make do without mk ***** then try this:

I did not know those beasts existed. Still not to old to learn

 

Well why didn't you say this at the begining?

 

Crabtree do a grid system as well and very good if I might say

 

Click switches r good the gut can swapped and they r cheaper than grid system

 

Any grid system will require a double box for a 3 gang switch I am afraid.

Many manufacturers do a grid range - but as OP requested MK, seemed sensible to concentrate on MK

 

Hi, If I understand correctly, you require a 3 gang switch of which there is a mix of 2 way & intermidiate on the same single gang plate. I am afraid it wont match the mk as I believe it has rounded edges but if you dont mind square edge single plate I suggest the following which will fit in a 15mm box.
MEM INTRA white moulded range. The simplest way would be to buy a 3 gang plate switch & a single intermediate one, remove one of the 2 way switches & replace it with the intermediate one after removing it off the plate. I use these switches often & is the only make I know where you can configure in this way as all the switches are seperate removable ones. Hope this helps.

as said above,click do a polar range that is square edged, with all modules removable. your gonna have fun screwing that face plate down on them wires.

 

Cheers for all the replies guys.....

I think i'm just going to get a three gang two way
and move the intermediate switch to one of the other
locations.

That's what I had to do when wiring my own house, couldn't find 2 gang intermediates back then. It meant much longer runs of cable though.

That's my fault for wanting 2 way switching (well 3 or 4 switches) on both the landing AND the hall lighting (why does nobody else fit two way switching on the downstairs hall light? how many times have you gone up to bed and realised you have left the downstairs hall light on?).

 

The NIC are making there guys wire the bottom of the stairs and the top of the stairs on different circuits as a 'safety feature' so your going to see that a lot.

Just put the whole staircase and landings on the same circuit as i do, why **** about.

Seperating switch gangs due to different circuits, what a waste of time.

 

A little late to the party here, but just in case anyone else is looking for future reference.
On a standard MK 2gang 2 way switch, you will notice that the switches are just grid system modules, (Logic plus), in a fancy face plate.
Carefully remove the 2 way modules from the plate and replace them with intermediate switches from the grid system range.
Et-viola a 2gang intermediate switch that you can't buy off the shelf!

FYI You can just use a 2g grid system but the retaining screws on the face plate are top/ bottom.
It looks horrible!

 

Click minigrid these days.

 

Thank you for this comment. This has really helped solve a problem I had with the MK light switch. I had a 2gang 2 way and need one of them to be an intermediate. Your suggestion worked a treat. Thanks
