What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these electrical boxes for sturdy construction, effortless installation using angled pre-installed screws, and versatility in retrofit applications. Most highlight quick one-person setups, stable mounting directly to studs, and thick plastic durability superior to traditional alternatives. Many emphasize space efficiency, flush wall plate fit, and removable tabs simplifying wire routing. The design eliminates major wall disruption in tight spaces like bathrooms and kitchens. A few note minor issues with internal cable clamps and included screw quality, though these are overshadowed by overall performance. Most reviewers consider this their go-to solution for both new and old work projects.

Sturdy, easy to install.

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.
