What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for its reliability and ease of installation, particularly for old-work remodels in homes without existing boxes. Most highlight how simple and fast installation is, noting it requires no studs and fits securely in drywall with a helpful template. Many commend its suitability for retrofitting older homes and replacing outdated boxes. However, several reviewers consistently report issues with included screws that strip easily and wing tabs that break during tightening, prompting some to use their own hardware. Despite these hardware concerns, most customers find the box functional and worth purchasing again.

Great box

 Would Recommend

Easy to install, tightens securely to wall or ceilings. Great to mount interconnected smoke/ CO alarms. It would be nice if they made some with longer flip out wings for thicker ceilings.
