Hubbell Hubbell 1-Gang Weatherproof Cover, Box and Accessories

Don't buy

We don't like it at all. It is hard to open and hard to shut and if you use a 3 prong plug, it won't shut.

Secure

Bought this to replace the plastic cover for my outside receptacle that someone broke. Keeps the outlet clean and secure.

You need an outlet box to accompany this box.

First, no indication that an outlet box was not included. Second, not enough of a depression at bottom of box design for a heavy duty outlet cord to be able to close the box tightly and keep the moisture out. I like to keep my irrigation pump plugged in during summer months.

Better than plastic

Durable, not plastic, can only use verticle, gravity to secure front, also lockable

Master electrician

I have used these 2 times and they break immediately I never install one again. Don't waste your money.

What we needed

We needed a heavy duty plug cover that locked for electrical outlets on our front porch. This more than fit the bill. It’s a little cumbersome to install but not so much that you can’t do it. It just helps to have a couple of extra hands to hold box cover open while you tighten mounting screws.

Just what I needed

This metal cover was just what I needed to cover an outdoor outlet. However, I needed to file some casting flash out of one of the holes before I could install it.

Best design yet!

I'm an electrician, have installed many in-use covers. I like these metal ones over the various plastic designs, hands down. But now this newer, smaller profile cover is the best design yet. Sure, they're just a little tricky to install, but so are all the other in-use covers. Having done a bunch of them, of course it becomes easy. Love it, love it, love it. Looks great, does the job perfectly, customers are happier and safer.

Right electrical components for the job
