Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Solid box for a clean retrofit outlet install
I used this old-work box while adding an outlet from a bedroom, through the closet, and into the garage. It worked exactly how I needed it to. The box was easy to install, held firmly in place, and made the finished outlet feel secure without having to open up a large section of drywall. Good option for a clean retrofit outlet install.

Easy retrofit box that installs clean in drywall
Would RecommendThe CANTEX 1-gang PVC old work switch/outlet box is a standard retrofit electrical box used when adding or replacing outlets and switches in existing finished walls. The design is built around old-work installation, meaning it clamps to drywall from the inside of the wall rather than being nailed to studs. The swing-out tabs lock against the back of the drywall, which helps it stay secure without needing access to framing. That makes it especially useful for remodels where you’re not opening up...
