Diall Grey Junction box 85mm

Can't understand the negative reviews. This is IP55 rated, and cheap as chips. Does exactly what you expect at more than half the price of an equivalent

TBH whoever can't manage to screw the plate on really needs to step away from the DIY and esp electrics. I can only surmise they've used a powered screwdriver on a high setting??

have this for my outside light connection's but cover screws chew up and have found it hard to find replacements

just purchased this box despite bad comments about securing screws. Yes they can be a little tight. after all they are self tapping screws. in the first instance do not put the lid on. Screw the first screw in a couple of gentle turns making sure it is going in straight. screw back a turn then screw down another couple of turns until you meet a resistance. again screw back a couple of turns.Get the idea, you are cutting a thread. The screw will get very hot in the process, which is why the screws are failing. take your time until the screw is completely in maybe pausing for a short time in between turns to allow the screw to cool.when the screw is completely down unscrew it until it is almost out. Apply a little vaseline to the threads and screw completely in. Repeat process for other 3 screws. now remove them all. put the lid on and you will find that the screws will fit perfectly. For the price this is a very nice outside box if all other instructions a followed carefully. I am a satisfied customer having no connection with the supplying company.

I bought this product along with 2x 20mm stuffing glands to seal the cables going to and from the box . Exactly what I needed for my outside lights
