Pricing above does not include phone jacks, CAT5, or cable jacks. The following pricing is stanardized per plate and an add on cost to the grid above. The add on is per occurance within the plate for
phone jacks, CAT5 jacks, or cable connectors. Thus if you have a combination plate with a phone jack and cable outlet, then that would add $11.00 to the plate cost. The breakdown of the hardware charges is directly
below.
Adding individual phone jack, $6.00. Adding individual CAT5 jack, $8.00. Adding cable male to male connecting nub, $5.00. If adding multiple jacks to the same plate, combine the prices above.
CAT5, phone jack, and cable nubs shown as backviews below.

*** Please remember to select from one of the four edge choices when placing your order! Edge choices shown directly below. |
EDGE CHOICES: Any plate can be ordered with any of the 4 available edges: rounded, beaded, chamfered, or square.
The beaded plate will be sligthly thicker and then the cutouts will be
recessed. It is a fancier plate. Your edge choice does not affect the price. We will show 4 color images below to give you an example of each edge. They will be shown in the same order as the black and white diagram
to the left. Choose any edge you like, it does not alter pricing. |

SPECIAL INFORMATION for metal backing requirements.
Some electricians must follow a city or county code that states that a wood switchplate or outlet cover must contain a metal back. If you need metal backs, this service is available from C&R Woodcrafters. No matter what size plate you need, adding a metal backer is a $4 charge per plate. If you require a metal back, you must state so when ordering. We have a comments field on our on-line ordering form, or let us know on your fax orders, or when you call in to us.
***Please remember to select from one of the four edge choices when placing your order! |
ORDERING INFORMATION: For us to process your order accurately, this is the information that we will need:
- Part number from above graphical configurations, such as W633 triple rocker
- Or list your special configuration, such as: 5-gang plate with toggle-toggle-GFI-GFI-cable jack.
- Please tell us the wood species you would like
- ***Please remember to select from one of the four edge choices when placing your order!
- State unfinished if you plan to finish yourself, or
- State your finish option: Minwax color # __________ (and then top coated satin, semi-gloss, or high gloss); or clear coated in satin, semi-gloss, or gloss; or tung oil finish
- If the plates are not standard sizes, please tell us the dimensions. Standard plate dimension shown at top of page. Dimensions also shown graphically at this link.
- IF YOU NEED METAL BACKING
, then please be certain to tell us when ordering. By default, plates are made without metal backing. This is an option by request only.
- AND, if you need a specific screw color, these are the available screws and you can specify which you prefer: brown, black, almond, antique brass, bright brass, white.
As you can see, to create a part number with the style of plate or special configuration, wood choice, edge choice, finish choice, hardware choice, metal backing if needed, and possibly oversized would end up being
hundreds of thousands of part numbers to create. So whether you call us, fax us, or order on-line, please describe your plate needs well. We have description and comments fields on our on-line ordering form. And we
welcome phone orders. And if you ever have any questions, please e-mail or call us. 813-633-7544 |
