Default Surface Moulded Boxes

Some of the sockets I'm replacing in the garage don't have trunking so
the knockout is clearly visible. What is the best way to fit trunking?
I assume they have self adhesive at the back will this allow fixing to
brick etc? Does the cable need to be secured within the trunking?

leaving a clean straight edge. Maybe a tile scribe and nipper might do
the trick?


Given you'll be seeing the cable if you can see the knockout, does it
really matter? Most would use trunking to avoid seeing the cable and this
would also cover up the knockout.
