Becareful of installation

The box is incredible easy to install. However, the hole I mounted the box in is slightly larger on one side and with the fan installed the box will rock (round clamp on a round brace). It caused my fan to slip out of its holder and almost onto the floor after a week of use!

This worked out perfectly! I used these to replace two ceiling lights with ceiling fans. The builders used cheap plastic electrical boxes secured to a rafter with only one nail and some glue. I did not feel comfortable mounting ceiling fans to those in my kid’s rooms. These steel remodel electrical boxes worked out great!

You never know what a homeowner or yourself is going to mount to a ceiling box. These boxes saddle the joist and allow for a much higher load to be affixed such as HUGE ceiling fans by putting the box and fixture mounting screws directly into the joist rather than a standard box nailed to the side of a joist. Highly recommend.

No torn up drywall!

The hardest part of the job was getting the old box out. The new replacement is very strong and will hold a chandelier properly.
