ABSTRACT:
One embodiment permits retrofitting one or more laterally extending electrical boxes for extra switches, outlets or accessories such as rheostatic controls in existing walls without tearing out a portion of the wall, removing the box, rewiring a new ganged box and refinishing the wall. This invention provides modular lateral box extensions constructed to be installed from the open front end and supported by the installed box anchored to a beam with the wall being cut only enough to receive the extension modular box. This efficiently requires the wiring of only additional modules and avoids repair and repainting of walls.
