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, add the prices above.

Staining a plate in any of the 20 Minwax finishes, add $8.00 per plate, no matter what size plate.
(And then please note satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finish for the top coat over the stain. This is included in the $8 per plate cost.)
Clear coating a plate in satin, semi-gloss, or a gloss clear finish, add $4.00 per plate, no matter what size. (non-stained plates)
Oversize plates (within reason) are just $8.00 more per plate, no matter what number of gangs from single to 8-gang. If the plate is excessively oversize, we will have to call C&R for a quotation.
All edge choices are priced the same. Edge choices are shown a little lower on this page. EXOTIC WOOD CHOICES: The following wood choices are considered special woods and carry a premium price upgrade of
$9 per plate, no matter what size plate. Thus a triple size plate is $9 more or $23.95 + $9 = $32.95 each. A 6-gang plate would
add $9 to the $49.25 unfinished price equaling 58.25 total. Finishing or hardware options are the same as above. Oversize exotic wood choice plates carry an $16 "per plate" upcharge.
This applies only to the 9 exotic wood species listed directly below:
Bamboo, light |
Maple, Birdseye |
Yellow Heart |
Cocobolo |
Rosewood, Bolivian |
Zebrawood |
Koa |
Teak |
|
Lace wood |
Wenge |
|

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. |

ORDERING INFORMATION: For us to process your order accurately, this is the information 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 note which edge choice you would like
- 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.
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, and possibly oversized would end up being tens 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 if you ever have any questions, please e-mail or call us. 813-633-7544 |
