    Interesting! Yet, if people have come to know them the way I know them, then I can see why they stopped stocking them :D

    When you said ears, that lead me to believe you where looking for something else.You also mentioned a screw in the midpoint??

    Oh well, your idea on mounting will work!

    Good luck!

    PS: Lowe's should have them as well.

    Washington, the one TK showed was the correct one, I was saying with ears, meaning the device screw holes, needing no mud ring, not box mounting ears.
    The other box I mentioned was a single gang with a single screw in the center to tighten, my opinion, it is much better, faster, safer than the gangable or handy box type. And you just cut a rectangular hole instead of the little side cuts. Will see if I can find photo.
    Take Care,
    Missouri, I will check out that site, Thanks
