Review: Makes for a very neat and professional installation for wall mounted TV's - Wow, I bought this for four behind-the-tv locations in my house. This, combined with a nice wall mount for the TV, makes for a very professional looking installation. I bought three for "new work" where I attached to the stud before sheetrock and one for "old work" where I used the black tabs to grip to the existing sheetrock. Both methods worked great. I've had trouble lately with traditional "old work" boxes made by Carlon. I don't know what they've done in the factory lately but it's virtually impossible to turn the screws that pull in the black tabs. I end up breaking them off or stripping them. This box, however, worked perfectly. I was able to tighten the box to the sheetrock with no trouble. Like some others have mentioned though, I did have trouble when I went to screw in the electrical outlet and cable outlets (not provided). The screw holes on this box, that accept your desired accessories, are very tight. I dipped those screws in Vaseline before screwing them in and it made all the difference.
Review: Excellent Product with wide applications - Packaged nicely and comes in a comprehensive step by step installation process. Easy for using multi applications, with knockouts on both sides for wiring. Plastic material is hard and the tabs are really robust. I wish the price were lower but this is probably one of the best two gang boxes that is recessed, which is hard to come by.

Packaged nicely and comes in a comprehensive step by step installation process. Easy for using multi applications, with knockouts on both sides for wiring. Plastic material is hard and the tabs are really robust. I wish the price were lower but this is probably one of the best two gang boxes that is recessed, which is hard to come by.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I needed
*by M***C on December 29, 2018*

This is a great recessed box to add a plug and allow for additional wires to pass up to your TV, if you're planning on mounting your TV to the wall. Works perfect in a 2x4 studded wall. It's a little more challenging if the wall is insulated but I have hung 4 TV's using this box and all of them except one were interior walls without insulation. Looks very professional once its installed. I typically install an outlet with a surge protector integrated into it ( you can get that on Amazon as well, highly recommend one of those) to protect the TV. Overall a really good product.If you found this review helpful please let me know by pressing the helpful button below.
