    [Question] 2x4 wall box for drywalls

    I have light switches I need to install in an office space with drywalls and they need the switches to be flush with the walls. My question is where I could find wall boxes which are designed to fit into the drywalls or is there a method I could use to install a normal wall box and ensure it won't fall out

    Fix a normal KO box to the drywall strut with a self tapper before they put the front boards on
    Alternatively if boards are already on , cut the hole size of the KO box just a touch smaller and clamp the box woith the light switch plate.
    If you have conduit and adaptors glued in place it should also stay put

          Or just use these from crab tree..... So easy to use and quick. No struggling.



          The UK has had these for for over 20 years. Saw them this side for the first time last year. Brilliant.
