Ifuriating
Would Not RecommendAlmost impossible to screw down the flags that pull the box snug to the wall. Looked like the screws supplied were too big for the holes. Stripped the head of the screw before they would tighten. Ended up making a trip to the orange store to buy the old stand by blue Carlon boxes that have worked for umpteen years.
