What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these electrical outlet boxes for straightforward installation in existing drywall and lath-and-plaster walls, especially for old-work retrofitting where studs are unavailable. The flip-out tabs securely grip without additional support, and reviewers consistently highlight sturdy PVC construction that resists cracking and outperforms metal alternatives. Many appreciate the reasonable price and practical design, noting they return to repurchase for additional projects. A few report minor issues with tab accessibility or depth limitations, but most consider these boxes reliable, durable, and ideal for remodeling work.

Easy installation
Would RecommendI bought this electrical box so I could add an additional outlet where a single outlet was located. The installation went quickly and without any issues. I really liked the tabs as I had only drywall on one side.

Roomy enough, simple installation.
Would RecommendI bought this to replace a single gang metal outlet that was supplied by a relatively large gauge wire extending on past this outlet to another. Because of size of the supply wire and presence of four connections (two in and two out, i.e. not at the end of a run), the wiring was jammed very tightly into the single-gang space. This two-gang box gave much more room to work in and seemed safer. Installation was made easy by the clamps designed for "old work" so I didn't have to nail it to the stud....
