## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy and secure installation at a great price
*by D***S on June 13, 2025*

Instead of the rectangular 1 gang exterior outlet junction boxes my house came with the circular junction boxes. It was difficult for me to find a reasonably priced weatherproof outlet cover that would fit. This cover is smaller and more compact than the Intermatic outlet cover that was installed when I bought the house. This cover is also secured to the same two mounting points as the electrical outlet so it is really secured to the wall after installation. The cover could be painted to match the wall it is mounted to if needed but I like the gray contrast instead. It is extremely easy to install and it takes less than 5 minutes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outlet cover fits older style outdoor outlet
*by L***S on June 16, 2025*

Fit great and installed easily. Great product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product
*by P***S on November 17, 2024*

Please ignore any negative reviews. This a a very high quality product made with heavy duty plastic with the hinges, cover and inserts all machined to fit perfectly. The gasket is thick and covers the whole back except where the outlet is so provides great water protection. There will still be some uneven surfaces where you should either fill potential paths for water with silicone sealant or not use this type of cover.Put the top side of the rectangle outlet insert (single or double) under the gasket with the flat side with numbers/words on it facing outwards. Push in the bottom side firmly to get it inside the gasket as well. The inserts for the wire holes fit snugly in the middle of the cut outs. Put the round side in and push firmly on the flat side until it is all the way in.The screws supplied are a bit short but you don’t need them since you have to remove the outlet screws to connect this cover so just reuse those longer screws.
