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. A few note that screw quality is poor and hole-cutting precision is critical for optimal fit. Despite minor challenges, most consider it an excellent solution for remodels and old-work applications.

Terrible customer service
Would RecommendHad 1 item in the order and it took over 9 hours for someone to pick it for me to pick up. The customer service at this location is the worst!!! I told customer service it took over 9 hours and they said I was lucky it got picked picked because of lack of staff. THIS IS NOT AND SHOULD NEVER BE THE CUSTOMERS PROBLEM!!!! This store needs better management!

It worked just right
Would RecommendJust what we needed
Difficult to install because of the three ears that hold it in place
Time will tell
It was exactly what i needed to replace a busted one on my back porch. However the flap screws are really tight going into the flap. had to buy two to get one to work. Squirt a little WD-40 or whatever in the top of the screw to help lubricate the flap for easier installation. They do seem to be very brittle, I have to replace at least one a year in this Texas heat and wind, time will tell if these black ones are as good as the old blue ones that are no longer carried by Lowes.
