ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises an electrical fixture which may be a light switch, outlet receptacle or the like and includes a stud-mounted bracket which receives in sliding relation a wiring box which is spring loaded to project forwardly against wallboard, there being a pair of spikes connected to the assembly which penetrate through wall board pressed against the forward surface of the assembly so that the location of the apparatus is apparent from the other side of the wallboard, these spikes being removably connected to detents which prevent locking of the wiring box into the bracket until the spikes are removed, so that upon removal of the portion of wallboard located by the penetrating tips of the spikes, the spikes themselves remain embedded in the wallboard thus removing the detents from a locking element which snaps into place after the wiring box has thrust forward to a position flush with the forward surface of the wall to lock the wiring box in this position.
