About the Sanus LR1A
Use this recessed in-wall box with your Sanus VM400, MF215, or LRF118 mount for a neater, cleaner installation. The box allows your mount's articulated arm to retract into it, bringing your flat-panel TV flush against the wall.
Patented Quick Shims™ let you level the box after installation just by turning the shims with your fingers — and they're easy to secure tightly into place. Cutouts in the box let you thread cables through to your TV. and the finish is paintable, so you can blend it perfectly with your room's décor.

Features
Overview: The Sanus LR1A in-wall box is designed exclusively for use with the Sanus VisionMount MF215 TV wall-mount bracket (051MF215, sold separately). It holds the bracket securely inside the recess of the wall, allowing the TV to be mounted close to the wall for a flush appearance.
Note: The MF215 is compatible with 15" to 37" displays, but to cover the recessed housing, the LR1A should only be used with 32" to 37" displays.
Weight Limitations: The combined weight of the monitor and adjustable arm wall mount must not exceed 60 lbs.
Installation: The LR1A fits snugly in the space between two standard 16" studs and is securely held in place with heavy-duty lag screws. After the box is leveled, the six supplied, finger-adjustable Quick Shim fasteners hold the box in place while you drive the lag screws through the hollow Quick Shims and securely into the studs. The wall mount brackets (sold separately) mount to the backplate of the in-wall box using the supplied brackets and hardware. The mount is recessed approximately 3-1/2" from the wall surface, and allows the TV to retract close to the wall.
Note: You must first make certain the area behind the mounting surface is free of electrical wires, cables, and plumbing before cutting, drilling, or installing the mounting screws. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.
Cable Management: The box includes knockout panels on the top and bottom for routing power and signal cables inside the walls along the studs and through the knockouts. There is also a knockout and pre-drilled screw holes for a standard J-box so you can install electrical service for the TV inside the wall.
Required Tools: Tools required to install the LR1A include:
- Level
- Stud Finder
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- Portable Drill with 1/8" drill for wood stud installations
- Adjustable Wrench, Ratchet with 7/16" socket, or 7/16" box wrench
- Drywall Saw

I was a bit hesitant to open up a wall in my house, but the installation instructions and templates made the job easy. I mounted a 46" Samsung LCD to the box. It is a very sturdy product.
