Ratings & Reviews for Southwire Smart box 2 -Gang PVC New work/Old work Adjustable Electrical Box
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for its secure stud-mounted design using screws, which eliminates reliance on drywall alone and prevents boxes pulling through over time. Reviewers consistently highlight the ease of installation, noting the built-in depth gauge and pre-drilled holes make retrofitting simple even in tight spaces. The heavy-duty PVC construction, deep interior for modern smart switches, and reinforced anchor points earn repeated commendation for durability and reliability. A few mention minor issues like Phillips head screws prone to stripping or rough edges on knockouts, but these are rarely considered dealbreakers against the product's overall excellence.

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
I 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.
