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 15A 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 2-gang combination plate
- With a toggle option: the solid brass toggle switch, assembled
- 6-32 brass mounting screws, matching finish
- Printed wiring and installation guide (toggle options)
Plate only or with the toggle?
Plate only: keeps your existing toggle switch and outlet, no wiring. With Single Pole Toggle: one switch controls the light. With 3-Way Toggle: the light is also switched from a second location. The outlet receptacle itself is not included; the plate fits any standard round-face duplex receptacle. Need the toggle on the right, a dimmer, or a GFCI opening? Email us the layout and we will quote it.
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.

Why solid brass
What you are paying for
| Oxide solid brass | "Brass" painted steel | Plated zinc | Plastic | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Solid brass | Steel, sprayed colour | Zinc alloy, thin brass plating | Nylon / thermoplastic |
| 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.
