What kind of tt fits a backbox 16mm deep for a light socket in a brick wall

What's the easiest way to fit a deeper box, chain drill and chisel? If so, anyone got any top tips so I don't damage the existing plaster?

That was only supposed to take two minutes

Home... And no, longer screws won't work as it needs to sit flush and the dimmer unit is deeper than the existing backbox

Chances are you'll chip the plaster getting the existing box out.

Drill and chisel.

Best of luck

I had a horrible feeling that was the answer. I'll cut round the plaster and fold the old box in on itself before I try to take it out.

9mm, why do I think it's gonna be a bd.

They're normally that depth.

Why didn't you buy dimmers that fitted in standard plaster depth boxes?

Because I like these...

You can mix and match the faceplates.
