How to Install a Reproduction Antique Push Button Switch

Heath installed two switches at the box. To control the lamp on the other side of the room, he installed a Premium Push Button Light Switch. To control the light at the ceiling fan, he installed a Premium Single Pole Push Button Universal Dimmer Switch. Both had mother-of-pearl inlays. The cover plate was an Antique Brass Double Button Switch Plate. All these parts and pieces were manufactured by House of Antique Hardware.

The other tools Heath used to install the switch, including the screwdriver and wire nuts, can be found at home centers.
