How to install Chief Proximity In-Wall Storage Box

Installing the Chief Proximity In-Wall Storage Box is a straightforward process when you follow standard best practices for in-wall AV components. Before you begin, ensure you have shut off power to the AV equipment and are working in a safe environment. This guide provides a practical overview to help you achieve a secure, professional result while maximizing the benefits of in-wall storage and cable management.

1) Plan your layout: Determine the exact location behind the display where the in-wall storage box will reside. Verify there is enough space to accommodate the box’s depth and the number of components you intend to house. Consider cable routing paths for HDMI, power, control signals, and any network connections. If possible, map out a route that minimizes cable crossovers and preserves heat dissipation from connected devices.

2) Prepare the wall and opening: Use the installation template or guidelines supplied with the product to outline the box’s cavity on the wall. Cut or open the wall at the marked area with care, making sure you do not compromise existing electrical lines, plumbing, or studs. Create a clean cavity that allows the storage box to sit flush with the wall plane once installed. If you’re not comfortable with wall cutting, consult a qualified installer to ensure code-compliant installation.

3) Secure backing and support: Attach the storage box to appropriate backing within the wall—such as studs or a sturdy backer—using the hardware provided or recommended by Chief. The goal is to achieve a solid, vibration-free mounting that can bear the weight of AV components while maintaining a strict flush alignment with the wall surface. Check for levelness and adjust as needed before finalizing.

4) Route and organize cables: Thread your HDMI, power, and control cables through the designated channels or conduits of the storage box. Group cables by function and label them if possible to simplify maintenance. Maintain adequate slack to prevent kinks and to allow for future upgrades. Where applicable, use cable management accessories to keep cables neatly separated and supported within the box.

5) Install components and seal: Place AV components securely within the storage box, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation and heat dissipation. Connect cables to their respective devices and confirm proper operation. Reattach any access panels or front covers according to the installation guide. Restore power and test the system, verifying that the display, audio, and control systems operate as intended while the wall remains clean and free of visible wiring.

6) Reattach the display and verify integration: With the storage box secured and all connections tested, reinstall the display onto the Thinstall or Fusion wall mount. Ensure the mounting system remains stable, align the display for optimal viewing, and confirm that the in-wall box remains concealed and unobtrusive behind the panel. If adjustments are needed, perform them carefully to preserve the integrity of the wall and installation.

Important note: Always follow the official Chief installation instructions and local electrical codes. If you are unsure about electrical work or in-wall modifications, engage a licensed professional installer. This ensures not only safety but also that the in-wall storage solution delivers the intended aesthetic and functional benefits for your space. The Chief Proximity In-Wall Storage Box is designed to enhance your setup by providing reliable, organized cable management and a clean, professional look when paired with Thinstall and Fusion wall mounts.
