A small tip before cutting out the square. Put in a small screw to help pull out the square when finished cutting
That's genius! I'm totally doing that. Pulling that square out does look awkward.
Ok that's a good tip. Thanks!
…or a bent coat hanger
Great tip.
Sorry for this but, I would even tie a piece of string to that screw in case the square falls inside the cavity.
I always overthink stuff.....

Great video. A couple of things I might suggest. Ensure that your cables are long enough given that they will be taking a longer route to their connections. It didn't look like you had a lot of play with your cables when finished. Also, label your connections before dropping them down - you'll get your connections right the first time. Thanks for this.
Thanks

Running the power cable through the wall more than likely violates electrical code in your state/city. Thing with that is insurance policies do not pay out on claims where electrical codes are violated. High voltage wires are required to be sheathed in romex if they are behind a wall. They make kits for $30-$40 that are essentially extension cords in romex that go into the wall by the original outlet and terminate in a new outlet behind the tv. Lowes and Home Depot both sell these kits. Do yourself a favor and wire it the right way. We all know insurance companies will deny a claim if they can find a reason, don't give them a reason.
That's right
Agreed. There ARE kits that are this easy that ARE to code, but they cost a little bit more. And please use a stud finder. There are possibly horizontal fireblocks. Better safe than sorry. There's a reason why as an electrician people pay me to do this for them. It's no longer an easy diy when you're dealing with wallfishing.
Hopefully his safe wiring alarm doesnt go off and alert the authorities
+James Lindsey the odds of a worst case scenario is slim, but so are the odds of your home catching on fire. Regular power cords do not have a true heat shield, and the worst case scenario is what your protecting against. Your odds of getting in an automobile accident are slim as well, but that doesn't mean that my son isn't getting into a buckled car seat whenever he's in the car. Same logic here brother. It's an additional step and a few extra dollars, but worth it considering the fact that that your 6 figure investment doesn't have a half-assed wiring solution carrying 110 volts in the walls. As a former builder I never approached a job on a build with the "to hell with it, that's good enough" approach. This is where someone's family is sleeping at night. To each their own, but if you can take an additional step to meet a code that's woefully insufficient as it is, why not?
Before cutting in the first hole, run the stud finder up and down to confirm there is no fire block. Common on exterior walls. Nothing worst than finding out you have a board which runs horizontally between the studs blocking your cables from getting to the lower box.
That's exactly what I was thinking
So what if all the bays had fire blocks or draft stops? Leave the wires exposed? Or just notch out the block and patch the small hole? Or get one of those flexible bit extensions and drill a hole in the block? I guess you can have exposed wires in the living room on the other side of the wall.
@@reasoningtruth Those are options. The point is to realize it may not be as simple as this video shows. Some who have no desire to drill through the fire block or do any wall patch so may opt to go surface mount with Wiremold type products.
@@CVM222VOLT Thank you for taking your time to explain your point of view to me better. I never gave that a fleeting thought because I'm the type the just does whatever it takes to do the job right. Whatever it mutates into is just a part of the short trip. Most of this type of work I do on the fly. I'm pretty set up tooling-wise to do most stuff around the house. I'd just pull out the drill extension and keep going like it was what it is, nothing.
Craig commented 5 years ago and replied within an hour of you commenting. Amazing stuff.
Before you cut the square out you can screw a dry wall nail in the center so when you finish cutting it you can simply grab it so it won’t fall down
Nice one
Funny enough I just watched another video he recently did where he used this method.
Good idea
Good tip! 👍
I wanna know how you screw a nail
Nothing against your install technique - because it is good.
However, everyone should consider code requirements for running AC cables behind walls. This is great for signal wire, but typically against code for power. They have kits a little more expensive that can be up to code to run power. Something to consider for safety and insurance sake. Cheers!
Edit: completely overlooked the pinned comment lolol
Do you have some detail about what problem could occur with normal AC wires?
@@thinkngskeptic Many DIY'ers would run AC through the walls, and if done correctly, usually not a problem. BUT you're either a person that follows the rules (elect. code) or you are not. Its too easy to buy the kind that have an elect outlet at top, along with a hole for low voltage wires...then you run romex down to the outlet below, and another piece for the dc wires to come out. Run your cord down thru the wall and catch fire? Good luck collecting insurance.
I like to tie a string to the piece of drywall and lower it behind the wall just in case I have to cover that hole someday. Pull the string, recover the piece and patch away.
@@elguapo5467 what are you talking about
@@thinkngskeptic In real life really nothing. It just is a rule to keep fixed installations separate.
Of course should something happen then the insurance might not cover. It might even be unrelated to the cable like the TV burning.
Beautiful! I didn't even know those amazing little wall mounts existed. How cool!
I did this during the build of my basement in Brampton, ON. Pretty simple and super clean. And at the end if you end up moving your setup easy enough to patch.
Nice job dude.
xntrkcrx why did you put the location
Found myself procrastinating to do this with all the unnecessary info in other videos. Grateful I came across them but even more grateful for finding you. Thank you! 🙏 I’m gonna do it now! Hell yeah.
Properly built stud walls also have noggins (transverse pieces between the studs) that would prevent this from working. Check for timbers running parallel to the floor between the entry and exit holes before you start tearing your wall up.
They're called fire breaks.
Not in every cell.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The wood that lies horizontally between the vertical studs, suppose to be for fire safety. I dont know why this guy did not mention that.
@@patrickh9910 If you live in AZ, there are not many walls with "fire breaks" or even "ladder backing". We build 'em like stuccoed styrofoam chicken coops out here.
fire blocks, block fire from rolling upward inside wall.
Thank you. Just what I was looking for. Your video’s are perfect direct and to the point.
Thanks! Short and sweet. Well explained WITHOUT all the “blathering” that usually infests DIY videos. So thanks for that :-) G
I love your videos, they have no fluff:) You get to the point, and speak intelligently about the entire project.
I've been looking at exposed TV wires for years! I'll be trying this out soon! Thanks!
1 more additional information for adding future wires, if needed. Add a thin rope along with the wires about thrice the length of the distance so you can tie a wire and pull out easily in future.
Mate, top idea..... most people would not have thought of that.... Tschuess aus Australien
Thanks for sharing. Great info.
I am not gonna be able to do this as the walls in house are made out of solid material and cement but it is a good video with a nice idea 👍 a definite subscribe

cement? Lol do you live in the projects?

Never had a stud finder that worked good. Started using some strong neodymium magnets on a string. Studs have screws in them holding up the sheetrock, find the screws high up and hang your string straight down, there's your studs. I'm about to mount our 60" tv this weekend, gonna try and do a great job like you did on yours, thanks for sharing.
This was a great vid. You kept it simple and the parts you used work great. I just did this over the weekend and it looks so much better.
Forgot to mention some may have a horizontal beam to deal with. So prior to cutting a hole in your wall, should probably see if you're able to drop down the wires with no obstructions first.
Cut the top whole then the bottom hole... found the beam the hard way smh
He did it on an easy interior wall and metal framed. Will be a lot harder wood framed or backing exterior wall.
elbeto805 can drill through from inside the ceiling with the right gear, though it is easier to pull in some cat 5 and use Ethernet cable extenders than pull a HDMI plug through a 20mm hole
That would be called a fire block. From what I have researched this is done on exterior walls only. Which means the main walls that are located outwards on your home. They are not your walls between rooms and hallways. Worse case you choose an interior wall for your new location. Or just run the wires through a tube and paint it. There are many choices. Some not as clean as no wires but there's options.
@@PFab u also find them in most 2 story homes on the inside.
Dang, I came here looking for something that wouldn't get me evicted.
Yesss I was thinking the same thing! Definitely won't be getting my deposit back!
You can always cover it up if you move. It’s easy AF. Amazon has a lot of cover ups
What you need is a cable raceway that's painted the same color as your wall.
This will not get you evicted unless you live in a "1BR" Apt like the movie...YIKES!
Some properties are okay with it.
A dry wall repair isn’t hard at all.
This was a pretty awesome video tbh. It's crazy how some of the more simplier things are so cool.
This is something I have wanted to do for years, and now I know how! THANK YOU! One question - in some of the walls in my house, I have horizontal studs as well as vertical ones. If those exist behind the wall, what do I do then? This was a problem when I installed home security video cameras. They couldn't run wires from the attic down to the central unit, so they made it a wi-fi system, which is far less reliable.
Great video. Short and to the point.
This works unless your wall has blocking. Best to use the stud finder and run it up and down the channel and see if you get any hits.
Looks like he mounted the box below the fireblock
You just never know.
Use a PowerBridge for power cables. Having power cables inside the walls is a fire hazard. Great video!
Thanks
I have never seen a power cord that is connected to the correct electronic product (tv, soundbar, pc) catch on fire or even produce enough heat to be a hazard. Code aside i dont see how this is a problem.
@@dang8491 Imagine a mouse or squirrel gets inside of your walls and starts nibbling on the wires. Various insects can also chew through your wires. Unexpected fires can and do happen.
@@SchemingGoldberg But they can also Chew wires of these kits too
I love how you implemented the comment suggestions in your future video about hiding wires. I saw the kit and am going to do it that way! Cheers
Brilliant, easy, good and awesome! Thank you for the clear instructions!
Then your wife says 'No, I think it would be better if the TV was over THERE!'
THAT'S SOOOOO ME 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruh....🤣
That's when you say "ok, you saw how I did it, right? Now's your turn" 🤣
That’s exactly why I don’t hide the wires 🤣🤣🤣
Brill 👍🏻
Awesome video! Very detailed and seemingly simple and cost effective. I am considering mounting my TV and after watching 2 of your videos I feel more confident! Thanks!
Good tip with the recessed cable plates. Never heard of them, checking on Amazon, and they got 'em! Even in the UK lol. So that's my job sorted for tomorrow. Thanks. 😉
Bro thank you for sharing these tips. You just upped my game ... so professionally done
Lol I was surprised when you started to cut the wall with knife.
Here in Poland almost every wall is made out of thick reinforced concrete.
Arek R. only in america, homes are made of cardboard lol
Anyway I'd rather live in USA.
Same in Argentina. Pure concrete XD
Arek R. No u don't
AquaLady 420 What I dont?
Thanks for the tips! I'd also check to make sure there aren't any studs running side to side where you're planning to drill for the top and bottom outlets. I found that one out the hard way.
How do deal with those sideways studs?
@@donaldfo1 I had to move the cutout above the horizontal stud and patch the other hole.
This video has helped me in a major way. Thank you. Clear & to the point.
Thank you so much. Completed this project and now TV looks Awesome. 10 minutes to complete. 😀
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing! Subscribed!
The "low voltage cover plate" is intended to run low voltage AV cables only. If you also snake the television's power cord through the wall to reach an outlet, your installation is against code. A resulting fire will void your home insurance policy.
I was going to say the same thing.
Thank you.
Yep. AV only. Our electrician installed an outlet right behind the tv on our wall. Done and done.
He needs to ensure his cables are in wall rated before he does this.
Thanks for that. Something about this seemed incomplete.
Hi Nils.Just wanted to thank you so very much for doing this step by step video.It made my job of hiding my tv wires so much easier.
Well done! This is a tidy solution to a messy decor issue. Thanks
Why is your tv so high up on the wall? Are you standing while you watch tv?

Good idea, thanks. I might use this product and method when I know how to restore the air seal and the insulation that might be lost from the wall holes.
I never knew about these items! Thank you for making and sharing this video!!
Great video!! Short , simple and straight to the point . Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Just an FYI for those people without an electronic stud finder. Most all wall studs are located every 16 inches apart on center. Fact is TV wall mounts should always be mounted to one of said studs for stability,
.. so usually a few inches to either side of TV wall mount should be open.
Dan and Yong
16” is a stud??,
Dayuuuumn, That’s a monster in my book.
@@Casmige ''16'' apart on center'' means the center of one stud, typically 1 1/2'' thick, is 16'' from the center of the next stud.
Great DIY. Simple, effective, and inexpensive. The best kind. Thanks.
Thank you for showing us. This is great and easy! I can’t wait to try it.
Very nice job, it looks much better.
Very helpful, Thank you!!
You are a crafty individual good job. Legit most people can do this but wouldn't dare to try it! You can do it just try!
Thanks for sharing this! It was really helpful. 😀
Why are people asking how to do this with concrete and brick? Use your heads, if your wall is SOLID then how exactly are you going to run some cables through it? Why is this even a question in your mind?
cuz people are fucking trolls
those walls are still hollow. you CAN pass stuff inside them, it's just a lot harder to do.
people aren't really asking how to do it on their homes, they're really making fun of the concept of having paper mache walls.
TJ MAx
actually you can do it,
you cut into the brick
although, not the smartest idea.
it can be done, even if your wall is solid
If u have dry walls. Y would u even need a tutorial? Use Ur head.
4 C, by cutting a long trench in the wall, mounting burring a cable channel in it, and plastering it.
my neighbours aren't too thrilled about my TV cables sticking out of their wall. =(
mathardo 😂😂😂 there's an additional wall, wise guy. 🙄😂
Hahahahahaha.

Wow, that was so easy. Thanks for the demo.
Great job, and I can relate not wanting debris left inside the wall. I remember tearing down a wall many years ago on a home I owned and there was a few cigarette butts and a beer can inside the wall. I can’t stand shoddy workmanship.
😂😂😂😂
I'm doing this this video was very helpful. I was about pay geek squad $450 to hang my TV and hide the wires
Donnie Harris you should never pay Geek Squad to do anything
Yes, geek squad is ridiculous. I don't know how overpriced service companies survive these days with so many free tutorials on youtube.
T Shuart yeah i c
Donnie Harris
On a side note Geek Squad would probably do it to code. It's illegal to place flexible cords inside the wall.
What a great video! Thanks for sharing can't wait try this 💪🏽
Thank you I appreciate knowing how to do this. Leaves such a tidy look.
Next time, put a screw in the middle of the drywall piece you want to take out, and then pry it out with the screw... presto... no need to dig in with fumbling fingers!!
yes
Nah
Why? It’s trash abyway
isn't that tv too high? - - isn't it supposed to be eye level to the center of the screen?
eye level to the bottom of the tv works the best, about 40" from floor to tv.
maybe he had it at his bed room and layong down you dont want to have your head and neck pulling forward as it will hurt after a while
Kids, i say no more
Yes, ideally the TV should be eye level, front and center, especially if you're trying to go for a home theater sort of setup. Wall mounts are mostly an aesthetic thing, or for saving space like in a restaurant where having a big TV stand would take up floor space. In home applications I'll never understand this though. Unless you're also going to mount your set-top box or game consoles or whatever, you're still going to need some piece of furniture to place these things on/in, hence the problem ugly visible wires when mounting. Basically, mounting a TV in your home is just overcomplicating things.
the guy watches tv standing up you fools!
Great video. I was able to hide my cables. Prior to watching the video I was scared as hell to try it. Thanks a lot!
I always wondered how this was done! Thanks for posting.
I like your video good job
this violates building codes as your power cord is not approved to go into the wall. what you should do for a clean approach is add a power outlet behind the TV as well as these low-power flaps. I see some outlets at the bottom there that would be real easy to run some romex to the top. That's what I did for my TV in my living room. I'm no expert, but I also don't want my house going up in flames because a mouse thought my TV power cable insulation would make a nice snack one day.
I bet you're great at parties.
I am actually... not sure what that has to do with running wires through a wall. I wasn't disrespectful nor do I frown upon someone not knowing that they shouldn't run power cords through the wall.
It's the easy thing to do, just not the right thing, and it shouldn't be in an informative video.
+Alex Hawkins Hahahaha!!!!
Thanks Andrew. You're completely right despite these remarks. I'll be laughing when their house burns down.
+Andrew Ruffolo you're so dumb hahahaha!!
Nice job ! Thank you for sharing MR.
Good comments and good video. I'd only suggest to run a cable pull with your TV cables. Thin nylon braid or even heavy fishing line works. You never know when you'll need to run something else.
Tip for pulling dry wall out like that put a screw in the middle your just tossing it anywaze
This looks great and relatively easy. However, I would like to observe the process of how you were able to feed the wires behind the mounted area of the TV wall and pulled them out at the bottom of the wall. I would like to learn. It is very expensive when a company does this for me.
I was met with lovely pink insulation, use a fishtail mechanism , or tie the cable to something more sturdy and push it down until you can reach with your hand and grab it from the bottom
I'm just thinking about the same.
Maybe tie then together and add a little weight, then slowely run them down untill they appear on the outlet side. Then untie again.
Great DIY Video. Very helpful Thanks
Really nice job there! Not sure about "code" elsewhere but where I live I can't feed the TV power cord through the wall like that. I had to add an outlet behind the TV to comply.
Dislikes are from those who have Brick wall🤣🤣🤣
Oh yes🤣🤣
and now u cant move the tv around caus the wires ar to short
that's true
that's true
that's true
that's true
that's true
Thank you for the video. I've always wondered how I could hide the wires if I hung my TV on the wall.
should have ALSO use stud finder to check for horizontal stud BEFORE cutting top hole! And stud is right there where the tv wall mount is so you have an easy reference point. I usually put two boards horizontally attached to 16" on centre studs to attached wall mount. Holding one stud (especially if sideways) is not safe. To those that claimed the TV was too high, there is a formula for height depending on TV size think around 50-55 for 55" and 60-65" (off the ground) for 65" etc...
Holy crap, why did you place your tv up so high. Do you like to crane your neck back when you're sitting down to watch it?
del are u worried about his neck or what he shows u?
Its just a small tv he probably he thinks he has a 50 inch.

Maybe this is in a bedroom where up high is prefered .

sell ur house and buy those without a concrete wall.
Only problem is that the TV is too high, it's going to hurt your neck after awhile.

I agree and tell every customer that . But people still want them up high

What if you shut the Frick up
That's why I never make any big holes 😂 spiders and rats/mouse = no thanks!

The idea is to hide the cutouts in the drywall. The cutouts are behind the TV and cabinet. Why then decorate the cutouts with these $5 plates? Just cut the drywall, run the cables.
+dmitriy40 Because I'm married and want to stay married. Guys could typically care less about how things like this look. Women, on the other hand...
+Nils Rasmusson HAPPY WIFE.... HAPPY LIFE!
+dmitriy40 I agree with your decision for the wall plates. I found some that also have 110V power built into them and they are recessed as well. They cost a little more but are very clean.
+gese74 I agree with you just leaving holes in the wall looks like the job wasn't finished
+gese74 Your creepy crawly factor isn't why those plates got installed. It is one thing to have a small hole sized just big enough for one cable which you put ends on afterwards. Most cables for TVs that homeowners will have already have ends on them. This is a case of feeding multiple cables with factory ends on them. Whenever you make such a large hole, you need to put a cover in place to give it a finished look. If you are worried about bugs going in and out of those covers, you can fill the gaps in the cover with caulk (about $3 for a tube and $10 for the caulk gun). If you don't want to run factory ended cables through the wall, there are options out there where you run the cable and terminate the cable to a special outlet plate that has the outlets you need for the type of cables you are using with your TV. Although more difficult to install, this second option would handle your bug issue better than the covers shown.
Thanks for this! You just helped me..
Looks simple enough and an easy do it yourself project
When you have carton walls....
We europeans can't just cut out a piece of wall with a boxcutter! My wall makes a stone drill go blunt, dude :D #fortresseurope

also use a drill bit that costs more than 1 Euro ok
Just discovered your channel. Thanks for all the fantastic videos.
Great video. Concise and informative. Thanks.
Did you need to go looking for the stud when the TV bracket was almost certainly screwed to it? Just sayin' ...
thats what im saying...he looks like a dude that would mount the tv on a stud...also why do people buy a stud finder? just knock on the wall you can hear the difference... if sounds hollow
Not a problem. How long do you think that power surge is going to last? The power surge will be over before the wire has a chance to heat up. A power surge is a surge: short lived. So, your house gets hit by lightning and the only insulation that catches fire is your TV cord and ONLY if it is hidden in the wall? Your TV wires are not going to be smoldering in a wall cavity for hours or even a minute. Remedy the situation by putting a plug-in surge protector in the outlet near the baseboard. Run the TV power cord down through the wall (like he shows) and into the surge protector. If there is a surge, the surge protector will trip before any cord gets hot and before your electronics get fried. My TV, router, DVD player etc. are plugged into a surge protector that plugs into the outlet.
Can you explain that one more time..
Exactly right, foggy - I have surge protection covering all my electrical/electronic goods - no-brainer !!v :D
@@cencoast_7.340 exactly, OCD much?
Awesome job and video
I was getting ready to put an extra outlet behind the tv , now I could get this piece and no electrical work , thanks
