Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these metal junction boxes for their sturdy, well-built construction and ease of retrofit installation. Reviewers consistently highlight the thick metal, robust design, and reliable performance, particularly for old-work electrical applications. Many appreciate the shallow depth and side knockouts that fit perfectly in tight spaces like kitchen islands and under-counter installations. The mounting ears enable secure, straightforward installation with wood screws. Some note the shallow profile works well for dimmers and single switches but caution it's snug for GFCI receptacles with multiple cables. A few mention missing cable clamps or occasional knockout misalignment. Overall, most customers find the boxes ideal for confined spaces and retrofit work.

Worked great for low voltage floor application
Would RecommendI used this box to put a ethernet jack in the floor of my office. The depth of my floor was deeper than what the low-voltage old work boxes support. I liked this metal box because it wasn’t too deep and I was able to use the ears to drive wood screws into the floor underneath the carpet.

Works well for old work
It works perfect for an old work retro box as not sure why I'd ever use it for new work. Enough depth for dimmers, etc

Great for retro-fit (Old Work)
Would RecommendWell made and great concept. We always called these “old work” boxes as they are designed to be cut into an existing walls (note the tabs on top and bottom). Great way to modify existing structures. These will need a set of holding straps if used as a retrofit.
