What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these outlet boxes for reliable performance and ease of installation in existing walls, particularly for remodeling and drywall applications. The winged swing tabs are commended for secure gripping, and reviewers consistently describe the construction as sturdy and durable, with many returning for repeat purchases. However, some users report persistent issues with screws stripping easily and wing tabs binding or breaking, making secure mounting difficult. Despite these design flaws affecting a small portion of users, most consider the boxes dependable for their intended purpose.

Badly designed junction box.

Would Not Recommend

Bad design. I always have trouble installing these because flaps are made very flimsy. Only Lowe's carries these and they are horrible.
