    You can buy just about any switch and put it in those blanks. All you have to do is drill or cur the correct size whole to mount the switch in place. You can look at Pepboys, Radio Shack, places like that for switches. What are you looking to do? what kind of switch you lookin for? (2 way toggle (on/off), 3 way toggle (on/off/on-reverse), push button (press-on/release-off))....theres plenty more. I know a little bit about them..maybe I can help a bit.

    OK, then I'd suggest getting a 3 way rocker switch. This way when your not holding the button down (or up) it will be in the off position. you will want to look for a switch thats "on/off/on". To make that would, follow the diagram on the package of the switch, only the positive for each "on" position would go to the desired garage door opener. The off switch should be the ground or Neg of both switches. Thats at least how i'd do.

    I would suggest switches like this:

    Would just have to check to make sure its 3 way motion on/off/on before buying. If you can I'd check out local stores 1st before buying online this way you can play with them before picking one to buy.
