What Customers Are Saying

The 1-Gang electrical box is generally easy to install and use, with the swing tabs that lock it into the wall praised for securely holding the box in place. However, some customers have experienced quality issues, with the plastic construction and small screw holes causing problems. The screws can strip out easily, and the tabs may not tighten properly. While a decent budget-friendly option, customers should be prepared for potential installation challenges, especially with thinner drywall.

Great for the price

Would Recommend

Fairly easy to install, but can be difficult to poke the tabs out to provide the hole to fit the wires through. Tabs on the screws also need to be moved all the way back before you can install.
