What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for its reliability, ease of installation, and effectiveness in retrofitting lighting and fixtures in older homes. Most highlight how fast and intuitive it is to install without studs, with a helpful template for cutting holes. Reviewers consistently describe it as strong, secure, and durable with ample interior space for complex wiring.

threads too tight
Would Not RecommendFixture screws initally go into holes easily, but as the screw goes in, it becomes harder to advance the screw so that at least 1/4 inch of screw is left out, and applying more force strips the screw head.
