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.

Sturdy, easy to install.
Would RecommendThis is a high quality, sturdy 2-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. Go to choice for adding junction boxes next to studs.

Used to replace smaller box in ceiling
Would RecommendI used this 2 gang box to replace a smaller electrical box in the ceiling that is holding up a light. I was having a very loud squeak in the ceiling from the person walking around above. I lucked out and it was around where the light is. I used wood shims to stick in and fill gaps between the top of the joists and bottom of the subfloor above and it actually worked.
