What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these electrical boxes for reliable performance in retrofit and new installations. Most highlight easy, intuitive installation with angled screws that bite securely into studs, eliminating weak drywall flanges. Reviewers consistently note sturdy, thick plastic construction that feels rugged and stable compared to flimsy alternatives, with secure mounting ideal for heavier devices. Many appreciate versatility for both old-work retrofits and new construction, plus ample internal space for GFCIs in confined areas. A few mention difficult-to-drive screws or awkward cable clamps, but overall satisfaction remains exceptionally high.

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.

A great option

While they aren't perfect for every situation, if you have a stud next to where your box goes these work great.

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.
