Installation
- Turn off the breaker and confirm the circuit is dead with a tester.
- Remove the old switch and note which wire goes where; take a photo.
- Connect the wires to the marked terminals on the new mechanism (line, load, ground; travellers for 3-way), following the printed guide in the box.
- Mount and align with the 6-32 brass screws supplied, restore power and test.
Swapping a switch is a common DIY job, but wiring must follow local code and we recommend a licensed electrician. Send a photo of your box to info@oxidehardware.com before ordering if anything looks non-standard.

Why solid brass
Most "brass" switches are painted steel or plated zinc: a few microns of colour on a light base that chips at the screw holes and looks flat next to real metal. Ours are cut from solid brass sheet, so the plate has the weight, the edge and the depth of colour that only solid metal gives. A magnet will not stick to it. It can be refinished decades from now. And the mechanism behind it is a standard electrical mechanism, not a decorative part, so it wires like any switch your electrician has fitted before.
What's in the box
- 1 solid brass 4-gang plate with two rotary dimmers and two toggle switches assembled
- 8 × 6-32 brass mounting screws, matching finish
- Printed wiring and installation guide
Single pole or 3-way?
Single Pole: each dimmer controls its light from this plate only. 3-Way: every dimmer on the plate is a 3-way dimmer, so the light can also be switched on and off from a second location with one standard 3-way switch. One dimmer per circuit: two dimmers on the same circuit will not work.
Dimmers are fitted on the left, toggles on the right, unless you tell us otherwise in the cart note. The toggles are single pole; need a 3-way toggle in the mix? Email us the layout and we will quote it.
Need a different mix? See all dimmer switches or build your own plate.
LED compatibility
Use dimmable LED bulbs only, keep each dimmer under 100W, one dimmer per circuit. Not sure about your bulbs? Email the model to info@oxidehardware.com and we will check it for you.
Finish & care
Unlacquered Brass arrives bright and darkens where it is touched; that living patina is the point. Aged Brass is hand-darkened to a deep bronze tone and stays that way. Satin Brass is evenly brushed, pale and matte. Wipe unlacquered brass with a dry cloth only; aged and satin with a damp cloth. No polish, no chemicals. Every finish is made against the same master sample, so switches, dimmers and plates ordered months apart still match.
Not sure which finish? The $25 finish sample set is credited back on your first order over $150.

| Oxide solid brass | "Brass" painted steel | Plated zinc | Plastic | |

| Magnet test | Does not stick | Sticks | Does not stick | Does not stick |
| How it ages | Patinas (unlacquered) or stays stable (aged, satin); can be refinished | Chips at the screw holes, shows steel underneath | Plating wears through at the touch points | Yellows, cracks |
| Edge and feel | Machined edge, cold to the touch, weight in the hand | Stamped edge, light | Cast edge, light | Moulded |
Weights are typical for a 1-gang toggle plate. Put a magnet on any "brass" plate before you buy it.
Three finishes, one master sample
Pick the finish, then match the whole house
Every switch, dimmer and plate is offered in the same three finishes, made against the same master sample. Order the $25 sample set and hold them against your paint first; it is credited back on your first order over $150.
Unlacquered Brass
Raw, uncoated brass. Bright on day one, warm amber where you touch it by year one. For people who want a living finish.

Wires like the switch it replaces.
Standard US box spacing, standard screws, standard terminals. Any electrician has done this a hundred times, and a confident DIYer can do it in ten minutes with the breaker off. Every order ships with a printed wiring guide, and if your box looks unusual you can email a photo to info@oxidehardware.com before you order.
1. Breaker off, test the circuit. 2. Swap the mechanism, wire for wire. 3. Screw on the brass plate, power on.
