I can find 3 switches, or 3 Decoras, or 2 duplexes and a switch, and all
kinds of other combos but not 3 duplexes. (Actually I need a Decora in
the middle, but I can cut the center section to make it fit.) I could
use the 2-duplexes-1-switch plate, but the switch is on the end and I
need it (to cut it out to a Decora) in the middle.
I currently have a sectional plate, and it looks like crap.
Maybe I can cut out a blank wall plate?

Thanks! I had looked thru an online Leviton catalog (about 30 pages of
wall plates) and never found that one.

Try an electrical supply company where electricians buy their materials.
Just about any number of gangs and combinations are available if not off the
shelf then from special order. A three gang duplex ivory wall plate is not
that unusual of a request.

Change everything to Decora, switches and receptacles, then a Decora 3 holer
would work. You will find that the type of plastic they use is very
difficult to cut without it looking real bad.
