What are the best screw less faceplates for Control4 lightning? We just had a job that had Leviton plates and they did not sit well and were difficult to line up. Is there a brand that works well with Control4?
Thanks.

Why not use the Control4 branded face plates?

I think they are ok but I’ve had designers barf at them, especially in traditional style homes

Stick to the matte finished colors. It looks way better.
I am using the stainless trim at my house as well and it looks really awesome.

The house we are working on has a lot of 5-6 gang boxes. I don't think control4 has higher than 4 gang plates. They want to keep it consistent.
Where can we get Lutron? Do any of the disty's carry them?
Thanks.

It’s a retro... too late for panelized.

I think they look really nice, Even in traditional homes. I personally think the claro's look cheap. Designers love the look of the keypads but a few of them nixed the faceplates... Probably because they wanted to sell $50 plates.

What distributors sell Lutron faceplates? I know we can get them at Home Depot, but it would be nice to save a couple $$ and have a go to place to get them so they are in stock.
Thanks.

I know a while ago AVAD used to sell the Claro plates about 4% cheaper than you could buy in the stores.
Haven't purchased anything from them since the restructuring so don't know if this is still the case.

Making Control4 keypads work smoothly kinda sucks when they are all ganged up. The buttons tend to stick to the sides of the decora plates. If there was a plate that worked better than others I would like to know!
