LV1-1CS Single Gang Low Voltage Mounting Bracket Device

Sometimes the broadband cable, antennae wire or Cat 5 wires are just not where a person needs them. When my husband passed away I decided to use his clothes closet as a little built-in office, and to move my TV to a new area in the room. I used these wall plates to route wires back through a linen closet and then out into the clothes closet. The location of the wall studs prevented me from just pulling a new cable from the attic, so I used a keyhole saw to make some new openings in the closet walls. These wall plates keep all the wires arranged in a very neat manner, and the large plug prongs fit through with no problem. The mounting bracket was simple to secure to the wall, and has a screw and flipper on each side that you can arrange to best grip your drywall. The cover plates attached easily and securely. I chose to mount mine both horizontally and vertically depending on the best fit for the direction I wanted the wires to run. The product was well made, highly functional, easy to install and very reasonably priced. Quite a nice solution to my cable mess.

I was retrofitting my house for some network and cable wiring, and these were perfect for the job. They worked well in newer, drywall-type walls as well as in older, lathe-and-plaster-type walls. Just trace and cut out the hole (no need to line the hole up next to a wall stud; in fact, you'll have an easier time if you stay away from the studs), slip the mounting bracket into the opening you made, tighten 2 screws, and the bracket is set. Then run your cables through the wall plate and screw the wall plate to the bracket with 2 screws (provided). The wall plate can be mounted with its opening pointing up or down (or, I suppose, left or right, depending on how you mount the bracket). Easy to install, sturdy, and makes the whole job of running cables from within the wall into the room just that much easier.

Ordered a set of these and they worked just as intended and I really that it got rid of all the wires on my wall from my tvto my PS4 to my receiver. So when I moved a few more than later I ordered another set for the new house. I'm not sure what happened but what I got in the mail was crap, cheap flimsy plastic that wasn't even close to the pictures of the product. I applied for a return and ordered another set, so we will see what happens. I'm still giving 5 stars because the first set I ordered was great, great quality and look, and I understand mistakes happen sometimes. If the third set is messed up as well then it will be one star.

I bought these to tidy up the tangle of cables going to and from my 70" Vizio TV that I mounted to the wall. Installing these was super easy, even though I haven't done anything like that before. The only negative aspect of these is the screws that attach the brackets to the wall protrude pretty far into the wall cavity and get in the way of the cables that are being routed through them. The easiest way I found to use them is to cut holes for them and test the fit of the brackets, then run your wires through the wall and then install the mounting brackets and wall plates. I have a power cord, fairly bulky HDMI cable, toslink optical cable and 3 cat5e cables all going though these. There is still a bit of room left, and I'll be running 2 channels of 12 AWG speaker wire through them eventually as well. It makes what would be a huge mass of wires invisible. Maybe someday they'll figure out a way to make the screws in the mounting brackets less intrusive. Pros: inexpensive, easy to install, gives a finished appearance to routing cables through the wall Cons: screws in the mounting brackets intrude into the opening that the cables pass through, possibly causing snags, definitely getting in the way. If you have more cables than those I listed in my setup, get the double gang.

These work great. For some reason AV stuff like this is heavily marked up if you can even find it in retail stores. The only bad thing I can say about this is that you need to measure or trace your cutout in the drywall. Better quality old work boxes like those found in a big box stores have small holes or dimples so you can hold it up to the wall backwards and mark the exact size you need to cut. With these its a little bit of trimming here and there to get it to fit. Also the cover themselves dont look as clean as some more expenive ones but you can only tell up close when your installing them. Besides these are almost always going to be hidden behind a tv or entertainment center. I would highly reccomend this item.

Simple and easy to install. What more can i say? ok, i guess I'll say that this package deal is worth the money b/c if you buy the pieces individually it comes out to a bit more. If you're hiding wires for a flat screen tv you'll most likely need two anyway (one high/one low). If you look up videos on the web to see how to install these types of brackets you'll most likely see someone tracing the inside with a pencil on the wall. This really doesn't help b/c it's not a perfect rectangular shape. Save yourself the trouble and draw a 3-5/8 by 2-1/4 rectangle and then make your cut. Depending on how adept you are with a drywall saw this should do the trick plus/minus some light shaving to get that perfect fit. I will definitely buy this again. Note: there were no directions in this package, which I really didn't need b/c I have a basic understanding of cutting drywall and installing electrical plates. However, for the common buyer note that this did not come in some type of retail packaging with nice pictures on the box or detailed instructions. It was packaged like most contractor parts you buy wholesale: a simple plastic bag (sealed of course). Check out some web videos for install tips but, I'll repeat: ignore the whole "tracing the inside" step and cut the measurements mentioned above.

I can not travel to the store for this and it seems odd to order something this small. But I had no choice. It is in use and went in easily.

Got several of these in order to clean up my wall-mounted TV installations. I was saddened to find out that they didn't come with a template but quickly remedied it by cutting a template for them out of cardboard. Then I realized that I really only needed a 3.5" tall by 2.25" rectangular hole in the wall to mount these. So to install these bad boys, find a place on your wall, mark off a 3.5x2.25 box, and very carefully cut it out with a keyhole saw. Pop this in, tighten the screws and you're done. (PRO TIP: I like to use a level as a straight edge to make the lines for the box in order to ensure not only that the plate will be level but that the corners are truly 90 degrees. Could also use a level and framing square.) Very easy modification. Cutting your drywall can be nerve wrecking at first but after your first hole it's no big deal. Take your time and do it right the first time. (PRO TIP: Be careful as you push the keyhole saw into the wall, don't go too deep or you will come out the other side!) And remember: Find your studs first! These need to be right above and below each other or you won't be able to route the wires in the wall because the studs will separate the inlet and outlet.
