This was one of those things that I thought “this must exist”, sure enough it does. As others mentioned it’s a bit of a pain to get it right and screwed together, but with some patience and finesse it’s doable.

This is a great item for passing wiring through office walls. It's machine printed, looks line, arrived quickly--all good. Now comes MY BLUNDER--don't you make it. I found an area in the wall where there were no studs, and used my 8" drill (1/4" dia) to drill through one wall, then pushed through the insulation to the other drywall, and finished the pilot holes. I then drilled 1-5/8" holes for the passthrough.WHAT I DID WRONG: I was NOT super careful to make sure that my pilot drill was perpendicular to the drywall. As a result, my pilot holes slanted down about 10 degrees. This was enough so that the front and back of the passthrough did not meet up in the middle. Yikes! I had to shave my 1 5/8" holes to get enough wiggle room so that they met up and could easily be screwed together.To be clear, this is a great product; the fault was entirely mine; and it still looks and works fine, but I am still kicking myself for my carelessness.

Installation is just a hair tricky, since you need to find a spot free from studs, wires, or other obstructions.My approach was to first use a thin drill bit to exactly find the edge of the stud -- if I was still getting resistance an inch in, I needed to move over and try again. Then I moved about an inch further, switched to a long (but still thin) bit and bored straight through and out the other side of the wall, taking care to keep this as straight and level as I could; that gave me a mark to center when drilling the far side.I then switched to a hole-saw bit just large enough for the tube to go through, drilled from one side, and sighted/felt to make sure there wasn't a wire going through this area. I didn't expect one, but it's always possible; if you do find one, you may be able to gently push it to the side.After confirming that the path was clear, I drilled from the other side. I then inserted the outer tube, used painter's tape to anchor it in place, went around and screwed the inner tube into it. With the tape holding it I was able to apply a fair amount of force and get the bezels nicely flat to the surface.Then remove the tape, clean up, and I had the cable pass-through my home-entertainment setup needed.Note that the maker offers several sizes; check the biggest plug you'll be passing through to make sure it will go through alongside any other wires you're using, and upsize or downsize appropriately. Personally, I'd lean large so you have space for afterthoughts.I'm going to try painting it to better match the wall color; I've done that with inspection plates and the like and it does help make the widget less noticeable. Still need to figure out how I'm going to hide the wires, but that's a different problem.Maker has been responsive to questions/comments too. I get the impression that this is a startup, which I'd rather support than a bigger company as long as they deliver good value.And this is good value. Not complicated, not "polished" but a well designed, well-executed engineering solution. I don't often give five stars, but I think this is worth actively recommending.

Simple and fantastic solution. Could not be easier. After ordering the item, I drilled the 1-3/4 inch hole in my drywall and fed my wire through. When the unit arrived today (fast shipping US to Canada), it took me all of 30 seconds to install. It fits and works perfectly. Ultra satisfying to get a product that works exactly as advertised at a reasonable price. Thank you.
