Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this metal electrical box for its thick, rigid construction and durability in retrofit applications. Most highlight the sturdy, well-made design as superior to plastic alternatives, with many noting it performs reliably across single outlets, switches, low-voltage wiring, and GFCI installations. Reviewers particularly value its shallow profile and built-in tabs for fitting in confined spaces like between walls or under cabinets without compromising functionality. A few mention tight fits with certain devices like GFCI outlets or centrally located wire knockouts that complicate cable routing. Despite minor limitations, most customers consider it a dependable, high-quality choice for old-work installations.

Clean and simple
Would RecommendNeeded a junction box to rewire my furnace power in so I could switch to plugging it into a generator or battery/inverter when the power goes out and this deep box worked perfectly.

Squirrel trap theft preventer
I am using this electrical gang box in a squirrel trap. No, I am not electrocuting them. It seems the little nuisances like to steal the bait (peanuts) without tripping the trap. I solved the theft problem by bolting the gang box to the bottom of the trap with the peanuts boldly in sight. So far, I've caught three of the thieves and they have been released at a wooded lake area. They're happy and so am I. Grumpy
