:coffee: Any ideas on installing a door jamb switch or any other type of switch that will turn on and off a pantry light????? I have not been able to find a door jamb switch that is small enough to let me install it in an existing jamb without removing the jamb

You will probably need to drill and chisel out at least part of the studs behind the jamb.
This will need to be a switch loop as there is only enough room for one cable in the door switch box.

If the pantry has a wall switch you might just put in a motion detector switch and forget about the jamb switch altogether...
