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.

Without the precision of a drill press to squeeze a new screw location between the original location and the edge, a replacement bracket would have needed to be fabricated.
