    Had a quote today at a new build where they've not bothered to put any facility for a doorbell. Customer has purchased a Ring Wireless Pro, which comes with it's own 24VAC DIN rail mounted transformer. Given the location of the CU, it is not the simplest path for a cable run, so looking at...

    Hi. I'm looking for a few 35mm 1G metal backboxes that have some 25mm knockouts on them. I've had them in the past (Rexton brand ones) from Tradesparky I think, but Tradesparky can no longer source them. None of the sites for boxes specify the sizes of knockouts so it's difficult to tell. I...
