Would Not RecommendThe top section split in half before I even got to tighten it into place. Luckily, the socket I was replacing top section fit the threads, but the plastic on this one was too weak. I would have replaced the whole thing, but the 3 Lowe’s stores nearby didn’t have any in stock.
IT WORKED
Would RecommendIt was just what I needed for my lighting project.
Works as it should.

Careful when tightening cover

Pretty sure it wasn't cross-threaded, but my habit is to make a knot in the cord to provide some strain relief (which added height to the inner socket perhaps). Not clear if it was already cracked. I used some cyanoacrylate, keeping it away from the threads and several black tie wraps. Seems way stronger afterward and worked fine.
Go somewher that sells just the parts you need
Would RecommendProduct fine, but I had to buy the socket/switch as well as the silver encloseure I didnt need. First clerk I asked for location was lazy and not helpful.
