planning to order. can I cut a hole in the backing of one to access a circuit box? Also how does it secure to the wall?

Absolutely! The cabinets are free standing but certainly can be secured to the wall through the back of the cabinet. You may need to run a 1x2 on the back side.

Hi Frank,I didn't cut a hole in the back of mine but I don't see why you couldn't do it. Depending how high your circuit box is I don't see that there would be a problem but there is one stationary shelf about 5' high in the cabinets. The cabinets do not secure to the wall, they are sturdy, with four sides and stand on 4 legs. The cabinets that I looked at, before I bought these, did not have backs in them, these are much better than the ones I looked at. I put all 3 of my cabinets next to each other along the side of the garage. I did have to get some 4" studs to adapt to the slope in the garage but now they all stand level next to each other and look very nice.

Yes you can cut a hole in backing. they give your screws to attach to the wall.
1094496
yes, you can and we did. It is so stable that it does not need any supports. mine have been very stable and we love them

There are 2 offset holes. Top hole near cord and switch (facing you) is on right and bottom last outlet is on left side. They are flush mount with hole and slide slit approx. 1/2"-3/4" total length.

There are 2 bolt holes in the bottom and 2 on the back for securing it to something. I suppose you could run a cable through one or both.

My wire box is slightly above and to the side of the mounts and is mostly hidden behind the speakers. To go thru the plate is possible, but a little tricky since it depends on speaker weight and stud support necessity.

It wouldn't be elegant but one 'could' string a cable through the holes. They are big enough to take a 1/4" cable. That said, if I wanted to use a cable I'd drill a hole in two sides near the bottom of a corner so the cable could go through and wrap around something outside the box. Mine is screwed to a shelf.

Hi. Yes, you need an ordinary and suitable electrical box inside the wall, you can buy it at HomeDepot or Lowes. This is only the faceplate, also you need the keystone inserts.

it is a cardboard type of material, should be very easy to cut a hole for light switch or outlet

The assembly is larger than a normal light switch in length and width. The electronics and remote sensor is hidden behind the plate, but does not recess into the wall. Also the mounting screw points don't match with a regular 2 gang electrical box. For all these reasons, I don't believe it will work as you've inquired.

Best thing to do is install an electrical box in the wall to protect the connection.

it comes with a little circuit box connect to it. That box has two wires to connect to 120v wires. I didn't see any issues to install it. Just cut a hole, connect the wires and insert it into that hole.

Hello and thank you for your interest in our product, this specific unit has a hollow pillar holding up the television, so you can place the wires coming from your television and other devices through these holes to keep them concealed from view. Please feel free to contact me for further assistance.Thanks again Andrea

I double checked since some of the responses conflict.... there is a small plastic loop on the box and lid that a small lock can be slipped through... but the plastic could probably be easily cut through, so don't plan on it being secure.

Not breaking any codes since its basically not hard wired. Watch when you screw the back of wall clamps on the box as both of mine stripped before making contact with the wall.

No, you get only what you see. No box nor any way to secure it. Mine is mounted inside my garage, but I'd be a little concerned if it was outdoors and subject to the rain that would easily get into the circuit board and, I suspect, limit its life.

I am not really sure if you want to drill a slot on the top of the box. From my observation, I think it would damage the item.

This is exactly what is says it is just a wall plate with the connectors. You will have to run the wires and mount the box within the wall prior to installing this plate. (To answer your question: cut hole in wall where you want the box. Mount box. Run wire...)

Wiring is meant to be installed from the back of the plate. The fixture is also meant to be fastened to an electrical wall-box via a bracket hidden behind the plate and fastened by two knurl-headed screws from the front of the plate through the provided screw-holes on the left and right sides. If you fashion a way to hold the fixture to the wall - perhaps simply two brass wood screws or toggle-bolts - and cut a notch in the edge of the plate to accept the raceway and cord, I don't see why that wouldn't work just fine. Note, though, that there is no switch on this fixture - the power needs to be controlled from elsewhere, like a wall switch or some such. Wiring is meant to be installed from the back of the plate.
