Chief Proximity X-Large In-Wall Storage Box - 6-Receptacles and Lever Lock - Black
The Chief Proximity X-Large In-Wall Storage Box delivers a clean, scalable solution for housing AV gear within the wall while keeping cables organized, accessible, and ready for servicing. The PAC527LFWP6 configuration takes advantage of two large tool-free Lever Lock plates for fast, frustration-free installation and maintenance, helping technicians set up complex systems with precision and confidence. Designed to integrate with Chief’s Proximity architectural series, this in-wall storage box maximizes your space, minimizes clutter, and creates a professional, showroom-ready installation that remains easy to service over the life of your AV system.
- Six receptacles for organized gear: The X-Large in-wall storage box accommodates up to six receptacles, letting installers confidently house a mix of AV equipment—such as receivers, switchers, gaming consoles, streaming devices, or small media players—without crowding the wall cavity. This generous capacity helps you keep power distribution tidy, minimize tangled cabling, and simplify future upgrades or servicing.
- Two lever Lock plates for rapid setup: The PAC527LFWP6 includes two large tool-free Lever Lock plates. These plates streamline the installation process, enabling quick mounting and effortless component changes. When equipment needs servicing or replacement, the lever locks provide fast access without invasive disassembly, preserving wall aesthetics and reducing downtime.
- Four adjustable levels for flexible layout: Lever Lock plates can be mounted on four different levels, allowing you to layer components in the most efficient, accessible arrangement. This flexible mounting system makes it easier to segregate high-heat devices from sensitive electronics and optimizes airflow while maintaining a sleek, organized interior.
- Rugged, wall-friendly design: Built to withstand the rigors of in-wall installation, the Proximity X-Large storage box provides a durable enclosure that blends into modern AV environments. The black finish and compact profile are designed to pair with other Chief Proximity products, delivering a cohesive, professional look in conference rooms, classrooms, home theaters, and corporate spaces.
- Improved serviceability and cable management: With a dedicated in-wall housing for AV gear and easy access via Lever Lock plates, technicians can isolate and service individual components without disturbing the entire wall assembly. Organized cabling and clear separation of signal, power, and control lines help reduce electrical interference and simplify troubleshooting during routine maintenance or upgrades.

how to install Chief Proximity X-Large In-Wall Storage Box
Installing the Chief Proximity X-Large In-Wall Storage Box begins with careful planning of the wall cavity and the equipment layout. Start by turning off power to the area and identifying a suitable wall segment that can accommodate six receptacles while allowing ample space for air circulation around heat-generating devices. Check your building codes and ensure there is access to a building cavity so the in-wall box can be mounted securely without compromising structural elements. Once the location is confirmed, open the package and lay out the PAC527LFWP6 components, including the two Lever Lock plates and the mounting hardware. This is where the unique value of Chief’s Lever Lock system becomes evident: you can adjust the plate height to align with your device stack, then lock it in place without the need for extensive tools or rewiring.
Next, install the Lever Lock plates at the chosen levels. Take advantage of the four available levels to arrange your six receptacles in a manner that minimizes cable conflicts and maximizes accessibility. With the tool-free design, you can reposition the plates if you need to reconfigure the layout later—this is particularly helpful during system upgrades or room reconfigurations. After the plates are secured, route power and signal cables with attention to separation rules—keep power runs away from sensitive video paths to prevent interference. Use proper cable management accessories such as Velcro ties or compliant cable channels to maintain a neat, professional interior landscape that’s easy to service.
With the plates installed and the internal cabling organized, slide the in-wall storage box into the wall cavity. Secure the enclosure through the provided mounting points or screws, ensuring a flush, even alignment with the wall surface. Before sealing, double-check that all receptacles are accessible and clearly labeled to facilitate quick servicing in the future. The Lever Lock plates will offer simple access to each receptacle, enabling technicians to swap or upgrade gear without removing the entire wall assembly. Finally, re-check all connections, power up the system, and test each receptacle for proper voltage delivery and signal integrity. When configured correctly, you’ll enjoy clean cable runs, reliable power distribution, and a wall installation that looks like an original part of the room rather than a retrofit.
Ongoing maintenance is straightforward thanks to the Lever Lock mechanism. If you add new AV devices or reconfigure the equipment lineup, you can reposition the plates to accommodate new layouts, ensuring optimal accessibility and airflow. Regular checks during routine maintenance will help detect any loose connections or heat buildup early, allowing you to prolong the life of your gear and maintain a high level of performance for meetings, presentations, or home theater experiences. The Proximity X-Large in-wall storage box is designed with professionals in mind, delivering a robust solution that keeps the entire AV stack organized, scalable, and simple to manage over time.
