Old work electrical boxes cannot be securely mounted in lathe and plaster walls because the ears don't catch after removing old boxes.

Workarounds Described

• Larger drywall patches and recutting box holes
• Using existing box locations despite insufficient ear catch

PlasterGrip Box Mount

An adjustable bracket system that securely anchors electrical boxes to lath studs without needing intact box ears. Designed for lathe and plaster retrofits, it uses expanding wings and a clamping mechanism that grips from behind the wall, eliminating the need for drywall patches.
