How long are the plugs? Just get longer coach screws and use the plugs you have. Start with the length of the plastic plug, add on the extra distance from the face of the block/brick wall to the real face of the wall, and add the thickness of the bracket, which I think you are implying is 10mm...

Have you looked for one that can be adjusted from above the table? Skip to 1:45....

This snapshot is taken from their Developers/Builders guide... They literally recommend a steel recessed box. Sometimes you may have to bend the 'unwanted' top and bottom lugs out the way, it depends on the master in question.

Appears to be a Deta media plate with the screws top and bottom like that, and the inserts match...

Ideally, the black wire should have a red sleeve, just think of it as being red for now... The live comes down one of the red wires from the rose and feeds both switches(you'll find a little loop wire joining them). Then, the live either goes back up another red wire for the hall, or the other...

Unfortunately, technically you need permission to do that, also!! https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/66/section/178

46 is just listed as "PIN", which looks like this... So, it's not a split pin, so will probably be a nightmare to get out!! Seeing as you are replacing the shoe anyway, can you bend the the part of the shoe holding it outwards to release it? Especially because of those tapered ends you see in...

Indeed. Maybe you should see why that's the problem that many of us, including the moderators, have with you.

It will also increase noise.

You could even be really fancy and use the length of the shadow if the ground is fairly level, then use this website to tell you what the angle of the sun is where you live... https://www.suncalc.org/#/54.978,-1.6102,11/2021.10.28/20:44/1/3 It even has a shadow length calculator, but it's...

It sounds like you have insulation backed plasterboard... Are the walls pretty darn thick, i.e. when stood in a doorway? Long fixings needed, as mentioned. Put them most the way in with a drill and do the last little bit by hand and don't go too tight.

There are end caps available... http://www.jfplastics.co.uk/products/twinwall/twinwall-end-caps_plugs ...usually only intended to prevent debris entering before cables are pulled, but you could probably fashion something with plastic glands fitted into an end cap for the cables to exit. If...

It's the symbol for diameter ⌀

It's made by Fischer, from their SX range, and it needs a 6mm hole in the wall. The screws you need for this plug should be anywhere from 4mm to 5mm in diameter.

If the light fitting has bottom/side entry, then do use glands and black flex, but you said rear entry, which b****rs everything up!!

Cat5e is supposedly 24AWG, which is 0.205mm² according to Wikipedia, but I believe that comes from having a nominal diameter of 0.5mm, so that works out to just shy of 0.20mm² in reality. And that is for each core, not a pair. Cat6 can be 24AWG, 23AWG or even 22AWG. Check the spec of the cable...

Also, buy 20 new nuts to put back on after! Don't re-use those "soon to be rounded off" nuts!!

How far away is the car? My keyless car can be opened from over 30 feet from the keys. You can't start it, but you can open the doors or boot. I use Faraday wallets, don't forget to do the same for the spare keys, too! Do you remember when Renault Lagunas started coming with that 'credit card'...

I'll second that normal red plugs will hold this no problem. There is hardly any cantilever force, even fully loaded. Get some black screws to blend in a bit better than in the pics... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384301140752
