ABSTRACT:
A locator pin device is provided for locating a utility box behind a covering member such as drywall. The device removeably attaches to a utility box and, when attached, positions a locator pin or pins in an outward direction from the utility box. The locator pin or pins have a long shaft and tip that protrude partially or completely through the covering member when the covering member is placed over the utility box. A template may then be used to mark the location of the utility box so that an access opening may be cut in the covering member. The device allows exact location of a utility box behind a covering member.
