Easy to install!

Perfect wall plate. It’s stronger than plastic wall plates. It fits perfectly around the switch and looks good. I like this more than plastic plates! I’m pleased with the looks and its strength. Such a great wall plate . I would buy this again and probably will when I do the next light switch

JUNK

Would Not Recommend

These are the cheapest cut in boxes I have ever "tried" to use in my life.....I would be embarrassed to manufacturer and sell something this low quality......Come on Cantex we are using these to work with 12 gauge wire. I would love to see a video of the company use these to cut in these using at least 3 wires. That would be funny!!! Guess its time to go back to the good ol days if you can still find "F clips" and "metal boxes" What a JOKE!
