Repair Clips - Fix Loose Outlets and Switches - Electrical Wall Box Repair Clips - 10 Pack

I'm always amazed to find a product that solves my problem just perfectly and this is one of them. My 80s condo has outlet boxes whose plastic has become incredibly fragile and the screw holes just dissolve. These little clips slot in perfectly and let me attach the outlet securely. They're expensive, but definitely worth their price.

Fixed my problems and was super easy to use!

A little difficult to install but once I figured it out, It worked perfectly. I didn’t have a stripped screw issue. This was a 3 gang metal box that was secured to a beam on one side, but because the box was old and actually segmented (it looked like three 1 gang boxes interconnected), the opposite side was loose and pulled partially out of the wall when you pulled out a plug. When I inserted this item on that side, it tightened that side flush against the sheet rock wall. I have been unable to fix this box for over a decade. This saved me a lot of aggravation in removing the old box and installing a new one.

These actually work perfectly when the screw hole is snapped off the plastic box. It grips fairly strong, was disappointed when it came loose the first time I pulled a plug but the outlet was brand new (tight). If gentle it will be fine.

These clips look like they should work but they are very difficult to get onto plastic boxes, esp if the dry wall is very tight to the box. (Also, my particular boxes may need to have the screw post filed slightly -- Mine doesn't match the angled posts shown in the video.)In the end, I found that using wood epoxy to stuff into the old loose or cracked post is much easier, though it does take about 15 minutes for the epoxy to set so that I can screw into it. For me, the ease of epoxy filler wins despite the wait time -- I am not on the clock rushing to the next job like a professional might be.

Had a broken outlet in the kitchen for years (decades really), I saw this product online and gave it a shot, I did research these types of fixed for my outlet and ordered 2 types. This one worked best by far. Only thing I did have to do was put some cardboard behind it when screwing it in to make it tighter to the wall. other than that, this is a great product that I wish I looked for a long time ago. :)

I do apartment maintenance. It's not unusual to find broken junction boxes, and it makes it difficult to attach the switch or outlet. This is a perfect repair for those broken boxes. I'll be buying more.

The Box Doctor worked, but, it was a struggle.. Lots of post-install sore fingers.The clips did not 'slide easily' over my box. Took lots of pushing, and pre-prying the box doctor clips and attempting to pre-stretch them. It feels as if the middle channel of the clips is slightly too small, at least for my box who is installed under some kitchen tile.With that said tho, my box is now fixed. A more expensive complete box replacement (and overlaying tile work) is avoided.The pictures below show:a) Before Installb) With first Box Doctor Clip installed on left side (was very difficult) - this install required clips on both sides.c) Prior to closing.d) All fixed.I'm guessing / hoping other boxes may be easier..The Box Doctor comes with 10 clips; and like I mentioned above this repair required both sides. You can fix lots of boxes with one shipment from the Doc!
