help Lack Grommet Cable Pass-Through Mount FAQ
What size hole is needed for the Lack grommet cable pass-through?
This version is intended for a 2-inch hole, which is approximately 50.8 mm. The actual cut should follow the grommet body's measured outside diameter rather than the removable cap.
Can I drill a 2-inch cable hole anywhere in an IKEA LACK tabletop?
No. LACK tops use a lightweight hollow-core construction with stronger material concentrated around parts of the perimeter, so drilling can expose the paper filling and weaken a loaded area.
Which tool makes the cleanest hole for this grommet?
A 2-inch hole saw guided at low speed generally creates the correct circular opening. Masking the surface and backing the exit side can reduce chipping, but the hollow interior may still need its loose edges sealed.
Will HDMI and power plugs pass through a 2-inch grommet?
Most individual mains plugs and standard HDMI connectors fit through a 50.8 mm opening, but several bulky plugs may not pass together. Feed the largest connector first and measure unusual power bricks or right-angle plugs before drilling.
