Junk
Would Not RecommendThe boxes made so the screws actually fit outside the box which means you can’t just cut a rectangle and put these in like all the other ones I’ve been using for decades. The tabs do not swing completely out of the way so they are in the way when you try to insert this into the wall. This is poorly designed and poorly thought out.
