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.

Makes retrofit upgrades super easy!

Would Recommend

Had to add an outlet in the water closet for a new bidet toilet. This made the installation super easy since you only have to cut the rectangular hole, slip the box through, and tighten the clamp screws. Definitely suggest you pull the wiring through the box before you install it, as removing the box is near impossible without losing the clamping wings inside the wall.

Easy to install

Would Recommend

I have installed many of these old work boxes and am very happy with the way they work. The only detractor is that they sit out from the wall surface a bit as compared to a nail on box which can result in a gap between the switch/outlet plate and the wall.
