What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for its reliability and straightforward installation in existing walls without locating studs, making it ideal for retrofitting and remodeling projects. Most appreciate its sturdy construction, secure mounting, and adequate internal depth for standard receptacles and GFI outlets. However, some report issues with rigid plastic material causing screws to break or cross-thread during installation, and several note clamping tabs that don't swing out fully or grip properly on larger wall cutouts. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a practical, dependable solution for adding outlets in finished spaces.

Feels strong

I like using these boxes for old construction. The box is heavy duty and the securing devices in the box are solid.
