I was thinking you might be able to use a piece to mold around the wire hole
in the drywall/plaster, no back box necessary. Just a playing card sized
piece pressed into the keypad back plate, and molded tightly around the
wire. I suppose silly putty would work for that matter. Just a thought. I've
never used those pads in an alarm application. I just remember them from
when I was an electrician in another life.
