What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these electrical box extenders for bringing outlets flush with new wall surfaces like drywall, tile, and paneling. Most find installation quick and straightforward using just a screwdriver, with many describing the product as well-made and durable. Reviewers consistently report the extenders work perfectly for remodels and depth adjustments, extending boxes by about an inch. Some mention the included screws are too short and require purchasing longer 6-32 pan head screws separately. Despite minor hardware concerns and occasional compatibility issues, the vast majority consider the product reliable and effective for their renovation needs.

Great fit

Would Recommend

Unlike some other extenders, this one will extend a good inch past the old box. I needed 3/4” past my old box to allow for the new lumber wall covering that we added. This extender fit and works great. No gaps or open edges. Very easy to use.

Works as it should . Need longer screws to attach

Works as it should protecting the wires for extra depth. Needed long screws, buy them while your at the store. I wish they would come with the box. Luckily I found some around the house.

Product & Image Don't Match

Would Not Recommend

The pic in the listing is not the same as the item in the store. The item in the store will not fit inside an old work box. The listing/pic/SKU need to be updated. Do not buy these and expect them to work in an old work box.

Product doesn’t match image

Would Not Recommend

Picture is of the previous product sharing this sku. Product is not the same, much bulkier and not as easy to work with, also screws are much shorter than the previous version. Absolutely do not recommend.

Turn off the circuit

Would Recommend

Perfect for adding outlets. Make sure not to cut the outlet hole so the 4 tabs are on the outside of the drywall. Install using screwdriver or low setting on drill-not impact driver

Great for extending an electrical box for remodels

Would Recommend

This extender fit perfectly in my existing electrical box to extend my outlet box when attaching shiplap to my walls. I needed to extend my outlet 1/2 inch and this item was perfect.

Electric outlet box extender

Would Recommend

This is an extender the fits inside an existing box to extend it further after adding thick wall treatment, such as paneling, tile, etc. This is very handy for extending an existing box to provide code required non-flammable coverage of the existing box. However, they are very expensive: $5 at my local Lowes.
