I am wondering how to flush mount an Elk KP2 keypad in new constrction with a pre-drywall gang box of some wort.
I see that the surface mount works well with a sock 2 gang box - the holes all line up nicely and whatnot.
The flush mount looks like it is intended to be mounted directly to the drywall via extending the wings. In addition it has a nice lip which covers the edge of where one has cut the drywall.
Do any of you Cocooners know of an alternate gang box which I can use to achieve a flush mounting of the KP2?
Why? I have this feeling that having a real gang box of some sort behind the wall helps to future proof the house.
My current alternative is getting out my dremel tool and cutting the flush mount longways into two pieces, drilling some holes in the side of the back half and mounting the back half to the studs? Then ( somehow ) adhering the seperate front piece from the back piece when finishing up.
I am intended on using the Elk flush mount's speaker locations for audio from the M1.
