Deep box great for new construction
These work great for new construction. I used them to mount ceiling fans and being 2 1/8" deep there was plenty of room for power and switch wires. They also include mounting screws and a wire connector. The only con I have is they should included 2 wire connectors.
Thank you for the positive feedback and 5-star rating!

Thank you for your product review and we are glad to read that you found the product easy to use.
pre-drilled and broke the head off bolt 3
Would Not RecommendMuch like one of hte other reviews - i broke the head off one of the lag screws. I pre-drilled the hole but clearly it was not wide enough diameter. Disapointed that this just flew straight off. Now i need to see what my options are - drill a new hole, try and extract this one. argh.. please include a recommended drill diameter for predrilled holes - would have solved my issue.
We are disappointed that this product did not meet your expectations. The recommended pilot hole is 5/32".
Perfect fit, good price.
Used to install a ceiling fan into an existing light box. The original was too big for the flush mount fan but this box was perfect

Didn't Work as Well As Expected
Based on all the other reviews here I expected this box to work well. I got it to work but it was a much bigger hassle than expected. I was doing an old work installation of a fan where a light fixture used to be. My main issue is they give you about a 5-10 degree screw angle into the bracket on the joist/stud to work with... I have a very small cordless drill but I still had a difficult time getting the screws in good & straight. Do they understand that I can't fit my whole drill into the dryw...
The angle is intended to allow for the drill to be below the drywall and most drivers would use an extended bit holder, instead of a short bit direct... Read More
As expected.
Would RecommendDoesn't feel cheap. Does what it needs to do. Everything is in the box.
