Great box
Would RecommendEasy to install, tightens securely to wall or ceilings. Great to mount interconnected smoke/ CO alarms. It would be nice if they made some with longer flip out wings for thicker ceilings.

This are a pain to install and have good support
Would Not RecommendThe problem that I have found with almost all of all the round old work boxes is that the just being hard to just taking a hole saw or a drywall hole cutter and cutting a hole and then having to make adjustments to make it fit. By the time you have the do all work to make it fit into the hole that you just drilled there is maybe a 1/8" of flange touching the interior drywall. There needs to be a larger flange on the box so it just suck into the hole that was cut. Been dealing with this for year...
