I've used the surface mount products. That is definitely a solution for you if you find you've got an open in your wiring.

In my case, I moved a light switch in our laundry room to be closer to the door frame so that it's easily reachable when you walk into the room. I thought I could just run the wiring closer to the frame within the wall - but then found there's an AC metal ductwork that is within the wall - which is why the switch was installed further from the door frame than normal. My solution was using the surface mount products to route the wiring from the original switch box over to the newly installed switch box.
