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.

Would RecommendThis is a must have for old style gang boxes. Just insert it and tighten it up and the wings or feet really hold well against the drywall. Without this I would have been in trouble!

These are great to add to existing walls. Has wings on it that as you screw them in they attach to the back of the wall. No need to find a stud.

Perfect for remodeling and repairs
Would RecommendFor remodels and repairs, this is exactly what you need. You do not need to attach it directly to a stud but it clamps up to the drywall or wallboard. It holds tight once installed and should last as well as traditional boxes.

Color may matter
Would RecommendEasy to cut whole and place in place. Color may not matter but to me it’s easier to see in a light gray then the blue boxes.
