Electrification box with hidden door

Concealed electrification boxes allow power and data connections to be hidden behind doors, panels, or furniture while remaining fully accessible and code-compliant.

Product Options

Concealed Electrical Power Transfer (CEPT) The CEPT is a heavy-duty, tamper-resistant unit that transfers power and data from the hinge side of a door frame to electrified hardware on the door. It is discreetly hidden when the door is closed and comes in multiple wire configurations and finishes to match architectural designs, making it ideal for commercial or high-traffic areas where aesthetics and security are important. Modular Concealed Boxes Modular metal boxes can be installed inside walls, cabinets, or furniture to hide cables, switches, and outlets.

These boxes often feature flush frames, lockable doors, and customizable finishes. They are suitable for home theaters, offices, or any space where wires need to be hidden while maintaining easy access for maintenance. Recessed Floor Boxes Recessed floor boxes, such as the Lew Electric RCFB-1-A, allow plugs to be hidden below floor level, leaving only cords visible.

These boxes reduce clutter, eliminate tripping hazards, and are UL listed for safety. They can be installed under rugs or in open floor areas, providing a low-profile solution for temporary or permanent power needs.

Concealment Techniques

Hinged Panels or Artwork: Mount a lightweight frame or artwork on hinges to cover the electrical box. This allows tool-less access in emergencies and maintains the required clearance around the panel as per NEC standards. Custom Cabinets or Shelving: Shallow cabinets with hinged doors can integrate electrical boxes into furniture.

Ensure the back is open and the door swings fully to maintain accessibility. Decorative Screens or Plants: Freestanding screens or strategically placed plants can obscure boxes in open areas without violating clearance requirements. Wallpaper or Wall Treatments: For less-trafficked areas, wallpaper or textured panels can camouflage boxes while allowing easy removal for access.

Safety and Compliance

When concealing electrification boxes, it is critical to maintain minimum working space: at least 36 inches in front, 30 inches wide, and 6 feet 6 inches vertical clearance. Covers must be non-permanent and easily removable to allow emergency access and maintenance. Tamper-resistant features and UL-listed components ensure both safety and durability.

Summary

Concealed electrification boxes combine functionality, safety, and aesthetics. Options range from door-hinge power transfers and modular wall boxes to recessed floor boxes, all designed to hide wiring while providing easy access. Proper installation and adherence to safety codes ensure that these solutions are both practical and visually seamless.
