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.

Easy to use

 Would Recommend

Box is super easy to install. It wasn't as stable as I had hoped using only the wings but it was still sufficient.

Poor Quality at Best

 Would Not Recommend

The screws and ears that hold the box within the wall are the wrong size making them unusable. And it's not just this one -- it's all of them. The screw hole in the ear itself is too small -- you'll strip the head of the screw before getting the screw to go in. Had to remove and drill out the holes to make them work. LOWES -- go back to CARLON boxes that actually serve a purpose. These are absolute junk.

Too many tabs to cutout for.

 Would Not Recommend

This box has too many tabs to make cuts for. There are others that are easier to install.
