What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this low-voltage electrical box for its simplicity and reliability in retrofit installations. Most highlight how easy and quick it installs in existing walls without stud access, with secure wing tabs and a reliable grip against drywall. Reviewers consistently recommend it for running CAT6, HDMI, coax, and network cables, appreciating its compact design and professional finish behind wall plates. Many value its affordability and sturdy construction, often buying extras for their tool kits. A few report wing tabs cracking during installation or minor flush-fit issues with standard plates, though most still recommend it despite these occasional drawbacks.

Works like it should

Would Recommend

The perfect answer to replacing switches in Doublewide & Modular homes. With this box you can now use the more available & cheaper priced standard switches. Does stick out a little (thick) but will be looking for a different/deeper cover plate in case it's out there.

Want to like it, but can't.

Would Not Recommend

Does it work? Yes. The problem? it's too thick. If you use a standard wallplate over it, there is a gap. And if there is a gap, you see teh VERY orange color of this frame. The other problem: If there is a gap (which there is) then you get air leakage, which will affect your AC or Heating. Looks like I will be buying a one-gang old-work box. (Which, btw, actually costs less than this product.)

Great Wall box

Would Recommend

This box is great for installing on a wall after construction. The fasteners attach to the wall easily and provide a secure connection.

Does what it says on the box.

Pretty standard piece of kit that works. Only downside is that it's not entirely flush so some faceplates will stick out a little bit. Test your face plates and choose ones that are a little extra deep.

Don't install a wall plate without this!

Would Recommend

This was sturdier than I originally thought. Once installed it did the trick.
