What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these electrical boxes for sturdy construction, effortless installation using angled pre-installed screws, and versatility in retrofit and new work applications. The thick plastic design feels durable with ample internal space, mounting securely to studs in under 30 seconds without extensive drywall removal. Many call the installation process straightforward and game-changing for remodeling projects. A few note minor challenges with internal cable clamps and included screws, but these are consistently overshadowed by the product's overall performance and reliability.

Sturdy, easy to install.

Would Recommend

This is a high quality, sturdy 1-gang old work box that mounts well against a stud and is easy to install. Trace the outside, cut it in the drywall, then use the interior-mounted screws to install.

Great Product!!

Would Recommend

These are very solid and screw securely to the stud. Much better than regular remod boxes that grab drywall. They are also quite useful in situations where it’s hard to get a hammer into the space to install a traditional box.

Simple, solid screw-on mounting.

Would Recommend

Smart Box is rugged and easy to install when you need to add a box for "old work" jobs. Find a stud, cut the hole along side, fish your wire(s) through, and screw the box to the stud. A very solid mounting, unlike boxes with "ears" or some of those other flimsy choices.
