What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for its secure screw-to-stud mounting system, which eliminates drywall pull-through risks and provides unmatched stability compared to traditional nail-on alternatives. Installation is consistently described as intuitive and straightforward, with an adjustable depth gauge enabling precise positioning. Reviewers highlight the heavy-duty PVC construction, deep interior accommodating multiple wires, and ability to convert single-gang openings without major wall disruption—particularly valuable for retrofitting and remodeling. A few mention minor issues like screw stripping or slight wobbliness, but these rare concerns are vastly outweighed by overall satisfaction. Most customers declare it the most reliable old-work box available.

Strong, sturdy, and versatile!
Would RecommendI bought this a month ago and it has been fantastic. It's a great, sturdy replacement option that works wonderfully for both DIY retrofits and new installations in an existing home. The adjustable design makes mounting easy, offering great rigidity and stability once in place. Very solid quality at a reasonable price point. Highly recommend!

Sturdy, Adjustable, and Easy to Install!
Would RecommendThis 2-gang electrical box is a great choice for home improvement and electrical projects. The adjustable design is a big plus, especially when working with different wall depths or trying to get everything flush with the finished wall. The PVC construction is sturdy, and the two-gang design provides room for multiple switches or outlets. It's a practical, well-thought-out product that makes electrical installations more convenient. Definitely recommend it for anyone tackling a renovation or new...

Wire clamps are too aggressive
Would Not RecommendThis was just OK when running 14/2 to the box, but if you want to run 12/2 or 12/3 you risk having the internal clamps tearing your sheathing. The clamps are far too aggressive.

Nice Stud-Install Old Work Junction Box
Would RecommendI bought this junction box to use in an old work setting where I was moving existing wiring behind our kitchen oven. I chose this one because it has the ability to be screwed into a stud, versus just being stabilized against drywall. It was easy to install and was even more rigid than the old box. Only thing is i wish it had at least one large format knockout, because I had to modify one of the small format knockouts to fit the existing wiring. Wish they carried these in-stores, had to have min...
