What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these adjustable electrical boxes for their exceptional versatility and ease of installation. The standout feature is the adjustable depth mechanism, which eliminates guesswork when installing outlets behind varying wall thicknesses, tile backsplashes, and uneven surfaces.

Good outlet box

Easy to Install

Would Recommend

I needed to install an outlet in my basement. This box worked great for my purposes. Easy to install, especially considering it was being affixed to 100 year old wood beams!

Good quality adjustable boxes

Would Not Recommend

Generally I prefer metal boxes for their strength but there are times when these boxes can really be helpful in tricky spots when doing remodel work. For a plastic box they are surprisingly sturdy and super simple to adjust.
