73% praised the durability, while 27% experienced issues
Despite using the box in rainy conditions and having issues with closing/sealing, I never noticed any signs of wetness inside the box. However, a few ants found their way in.
The box is flimsy and the top of the door is warped 3/4 of an inch out of alignment at the far top end.
I have complained that the electrical box is not waterproof from the top, which is the most common place for water to seep through.
I returned the first product because there were gaps in the seal and the latch would not reach the point of actually latching.

72% found it easy to install, but 28% encountered difficulties
During installation, I faced a problem with 2 of the mounting holes having plastic inside them, which prevented the screws from reaching outside. I had to use a drill bit to grind the inner walls of the mounting holes so the screws could reach the end of the holes.

73% praised the weather-resistant design, while 27% experienced issues
I had previously used weatherproof boxes from sockitbox, but had to get this one after one of them broke.
I have been using the box for a week and despite rain and sealing issues, I never noticed any signs of wetness inside. However, I did notice a few ants that found their way in.
Rain water gets inside the seating surface of the closure, but not inside the box itself. I am concerned about its long-term weatherproof capability.
The product is designed to be weatherproof and mounted on walls.
