Newhouse Hardware Old Work Electrical Outlet Box for Residential and Light Commercial Remodel, 1 Gang, 14 CuIN, 3-Pack

I used to be able to purchase similar electrical boxes from my local hardware stores but they stopped selling them years ago which was disappointing. These Boxes are UL Approved but do not have CSA which may be why they are not sold by retailers in Canada. Metal boxes are OK but they are tricky to cut out due to the sides not being flat with bump outs. The metal boxes are also smaller inside because the top and bottom back is tapered. These Newhouse boxes are much easier to install because the boxes are a perfect rectangle. The top, bottom and sides are perfectly straight and flat with no bumps outs. The boxes are also rectangular inside. They have square corners and are deeper than the Thomas and Betts metal old work boxes. These Newhouse Boxes are easier to install thanks to the flat edges, roomier inside and cheaper that the metal old work boxes at my local hardware stores. Very happy with these boxes. Highly Recommend ... I will order them again!

This was a breeze to install. Just be careful what kind of receptacle you buy for it. I bought a fancy one with a flat cover plate and it stuck out too far from the drywall. A traditional receptacle worked perfectly.

Works well does what is supposed to do wish it came with a plate.

Relatively easy install. Very sturdy with lots of room inside.

You get what you pay for, the ears are tiny compared to others but it’s nice that it has extra room
