Leviton Surface Mount Backbox, Single Gang, 1.89", 42777-1WA, White, Plastic

Deep boxes are extremely difficult to find here in Hawaii. Am retrofitting an old house with shallow surface mounted old boxes. New upgraded outlets are deeper and more room is required. Pleasantly surprised that this product is TWO PIECES! Base plate screwed in and notched box snapped in over wiring. Made my job so much easier. Looks good. Note: This is not a heavy duty box. Works for me.

The Leviton 42777-1WA Surface Mount Backbox is one of those simple components that makes a big difference in getting a clean, professional install. Right away, the build quality stands out. It’s made from solid, durable plastic that feels sturdy and reliable—not flimsy like some lower-end options. Once mounted, it holds everything securely in place and gives you confidence that your connections are protected. Installation is straightforward and hassle-free. The design makes it easy to work with in both new setups and retrofit situations, especially in areas where cutting into the wall isn’t ideal. Surface-mount back boxes like this are specifically designed for those scenarios, making them perfect for hard-wall or open-office environments . The 1.89" depth is a great feature too. It gives you plenty of room for cable management without feeling bulky, and it works seamlessly with compatible wall plates like Leviton QuickPort systems. Everything lines up cleanly, resulting in a polished, professional look. Another nice touch is the multiple cable entry points, which make routing wires simple and flexible depending on your setup. Overall, this is a reliable, well-designed backbox that does exactly what it’s supposed to do—clean installs, solid protection, and easy setup. If you’re working on low-voltage wiring and want a neat, professional finish, this is a great choice.

Absolutely no issue with my purchase. Installation was smooth. Not easy for a child to plug something in. Some adults might even have a challenge. 🙂

I bought both double and single surface mount backbox's. They work but the double box is really too flimsy and distorts easily on a textured tile surface, this single gang box being smaller is more sturdy. I would buy again as nothing else was available locally, also the box will not take a decorative face plate without overhanging the edges, so I had to buy a plain white standard sized face plate. I had already purchased the decorative plates and did not realize until I started to put them together.

Just got this and it was easy to install on a wall. The back plate can be easily removed from the sides and placed with exact position then the box or sides can be easily snaped back into place. Comes with out the screws so you will need to buy them and wall anchors.

Great quality

Very well made and solid construction. I like the cutouts in the back and the different options to attach it to a wall, etc. It's also nice that the back detaches from the sides -- that makes it easier to mount. And while there's an outline showing how you'd make cutouts in the sides, you have to make them yourself, say with a drill or hacksaw.

Easy to install

Se requiere remplazar las chalupas de acero/aluminio y hacer un hueco un poquito mas grande, pero un albañil lo realiza con mucha facilidad. Sirven para poner los contactos de audio de manera excelente.

I installed this surface mount gang box. It really sucks. I'm sure once somebody gets a little excited about unplugging the toaster it's going to break. My 2-year-old daughter could have designed a stronger box. Must be the same guy who designed child car seats.

I really like this box, enable the wires to breathe due to some nice grooves behind the box. You can snap off any predetermined holes in the back so that you can pass wire. Fits perfectly in my wall and respect code dimensions. I recommend this box

Couldn’t find these anywhere but on Amazon. They look fantastic and we’re easy to install. Highly recommend.

Perfect for adding outlets in my sunroom where I have no wall cavities. Super happy they came in black to fit my decor choices!
