What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this shallow electrical box as the ideal solution for tight, low-depth spaces in remodels, old-work installations, kitchen islands, pocket doors, mobile homes, and RVs where standard boxes won't fit. Reviewers consistently highlight its perfect fit in sheet rock over 1x2 framing and behind cabinetry, calling installation straightforward and intuitive. The sturdy metal construction with secure tabs inspires confidence, and many appreciate the affordability and durability compared to lighter alternatives. A few note wire clearance challenges with 12-gauge cables, though these concerns remain minor. Overall, customers consider it a dependable, cost-effective solution that delivers exactly as promised.

Good for those old shallow walls!
Would RecommendGreat for old shallow walls, especially for replacing older metal ones. The tab placement makes it hard to work, but worth it for the narrow depth. Always have a handful in my kit.

Worked Great
Would RecommendInstalled in spot with very little space. Worked great. The cover sticks out more then I’d like but works. It could have larger holes to put the wiring through.
