Leviton Surface Mount Backbox, Dual Gang, 1.89, 42777-2WA, White

The Leviton Surface Mount Backbox, Dual Gang, offers a practical solution for many home electrical projects, particularly when wall access is limited or complications arise due to existing structures. Many customers appreciate its functionality, noting its utility in situations where running wires through walls is not feasible. This has made it a sought-after solution for various applications, such as adding extra receptacles or accommodating modern electrical devices, like security cameras. Users have praised the backbox for its myriad mounting options and the ability to connect wiring from behind, eliminating the need for knockouts in many cases. For instance, one user successfully utilized the box to enhance their camper's kitchen area by adding a second duplex receptacle. The product's design has also impressed customers, particularly the presence of threaded metal faceplate connectors, which are regarded as a notable feature for securing installations, especially when heavier devices are involved. However, some customers have raised concerns about the durability and sturdiness of the product. There are mentions of the box being lightweight and somewhat flimsy, making it susceptible to issues if the mounting surface is not completely flat. In several instances, users encountered difficulties with installation due to the clips used to secure the back of the box. If the surface was uneven or too much pressure was applied while fitting outlets, there was a risk of the back becoming detached, complicating the installation process. Furthermore, compatibility with standard faceplates posed challenges for some, as users had to forgo decorative options due to overhang issues and the specific dimensions of the box. Despite these drawbacks, the box generally fulfills its intended function satisfactorily and is deemed effective for setups where space and accessibility are of concern. **
