I bought the Vanco 3 gang Low voltage box (frequently bought together) and the screws on the plate don't fit to the holes on the box. What gives?

I was initially confused by this as well, but what you have to do is unscrew each of the front 6 screws from the front of this faceplate. This will allow you to pull out each of the three speaker plug-in sections that come with this faceplate. You will see oval holes on the top/bottom of each of the three speaker plugin sections that matches perfectly with a 3-gang, low-voltage mounting bracket/electrical box. That's where your long screws should go (you'll find them in a plastic baggy in the included packaging). Note: When it comes to mounting this faceplate, I don't recommend using an electrical box because they take up too much space behind the wall and they can be hard to fit the wires into. Stick with a 3-gang, low-voltage mounting bracket(like the Vanco ones available here or one from a local hardware store that rhymes with Snowes). Next, attach your speaker wires to the back of each of the three speaker plug-in sections using the correct terminals. Once the wires are connected, you can screw in each plug-in section to the mounting bracket using the long screws. Once this is done, take the smaller screws that you unscrewed from the front of the faceplate earlier and use them to attach the faceplate to the three speaker plug-in sections. The small screws will match the corresponding holes on each of the three speaker plug-in sections. This should give you a tight fit to the wall. I know this seems counterintuitive at first, and it's a shame the unit didn't come with instructions, but that's how it works.

I bought this same plate and what I did was take a three gang box designed for remodel that has the 4 tabs in each corner , cut the back side of box off with a sawzall need to remove the face plate and each piece individually gets screwed in and install face plate just like three outlets or light switches.

Probably a question for Amazon or Cuisinart. You have to match the proper volts etch.

I had the same issue at first, but it was because they weren't seated on each other properly. Make sure the holes are aligned and the halves are seated well before putting the screws on. Hope this helps.

KevinThe screws that the manufacture supplies are too big. You will need to use smaller ones.

I had no trouble with mine- I think the screws must have been monel metal that does not rust. The only thing I can think of if the old screws won't come out is to grind off the screw heads with a Dremel Tool or something. Then the brass plates will fall off and you should be able to replace the flush valve.Good luck.

I also think your product is defective. The plates should close without any gaps. I would send it back and ask for a replacement.

simply drill matching holes in the correct size needed. most hardware stores should have short pieces of flat stock ,in many sizes. re use the same screws.

Unusual problem. I have many of these and they all worked well. I had to trim all the excess plastic off the sides with a very sharp knife though but then everything fit perfectly. If it doesn't fit then sounds like a mismatch of parts and you should return to supplier for a replacement.

I'm not familiar with your model. I'm sorry but I would check YouTube for compatability. Don't use screws provided either. I went and got plastic push screws to prevent rust

Every mmod is made different. I have 3 mods and one fits snug the other fits loose and one still rattles a bit on a connection. Its just the way they are due to them being un regulated. If you want a sucure snug fit every time, get a variable voltage box mod that has a battery tray made for the 18650 batteries.

No that will not help because the screws are threaded into the base not the plate. You could try loctite(threadlocker) on the screws or get longer screws and put a nut on from underneath. It looks likes there is room.

I am sorry but calling the manufacturer is a better option as I do not know how to describe those screws... I am a regular customer.. Open box screw in and be done.. Sorry..

This product essentially replaces a 2-gang electrical box and a 2-gang cover plate, blank or otherwise. The outside dimensions are 4.5"x4.5", so it should work if I understand your intended application. Your description of "two blank plates" is a little confusing. If you mean that you have 2 separate blank plates side-by-side, you may have to do some drywall patching because the horizontal spacing of two separate cutouts will likely be larger than this unit is capable of covering completely. However if you mean one 2-gang blank plate, this will do the job without any additional work. It's also important to mention that you need an open cavity (between the studs) without obstructions behind the cutout into which this product can be inserted. If there is a 2-gang electrical box in the wall, it will have to be removed if you're to have free access for the cabling to be brought though as intended. As for mounting, I suggest a low voltage bracket. If you search for a 2-gang l.v. bracket on Amazon, you should find several options. I hope this helps you.

If you look on the cover plate it has a code. Plug that in into google and i found only web cite with an engineer type who mentioned which boxes worked. The company cite it useless. In the end its best to roll the dice and buy it. There are two types as I recall and you want to buy the older of the two models.

There are a couple of screws that hold the dust port on one end and a flat plastic plate on the other. Just remove the screws and swap out the port with the plate and screw everything back in place. Should be no problem Cheers,Dean

Lol, i had the EXACT same problem when i put my first 9 Volt in. I just monkeyed with it now. Basically, make sure you put the top side in first (Push in and up), then swing the bottom half into the latches. It feels a little weird, but it snaps perfectly into place with little to no effort. Give it a try a few times and you'll get it.

bring it to only hardware store, if you have the screws you can match the proper ones, if you don't just see which ones screw into the threaded holes. anyone at any hardware store had been more than helpful to help me find what I'm looking for. so don't be afraid to ask for some help.
