Can anyone ID this switch type?

Is anyone able to ID this switch for me? As you can see in the photo the switches are coming apart.

That's because it is a different switch.

 

[JosephandAmber]

I've never come across this type before. Very odd.

Is it a grid switch? They often have top and bottom face plate screws.

Tbh I haven't yet taken it off the wall, but given the switches themselves are moving out of alignment I suspect you are right.

My guess is Focus SB Horizon Classic.

My guess is Focus SB Horizon Classic.

Good call. Must admit the design looks spot on but I can't find a 3 gang grid version online. Almost certain the brand is correct. What an odd little switch.

If that is the correct brand and you can't find one for sale, contact Focus SB they will either have one or will be able to make one if they don't. In fact they will make up all sorts of one off weird switch and socket configurations if you ask them.

Horizon Classic is just Crabtree Platinum just re branded , an old Focus salesman told me this some years ago at a trade show in London

I would put money on it (grid switch)

The fixing screws would suggest it's in an area where there may be vandalism or tampering

Those hex screws come as standard with that range.

So the answer was.... Crabtree Series 7000. It's a grid switch. Never seen one before, in the trash it goes.
