ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A bracket that can be adapted to hold electrical boxes of most standard sizes to fit within hollow wall structures of different depths attaches positively to the side and back of the box thus avoiding the problems of the bracket slipping off the box during installation. The bracket comprises a flat elongate strip of sheet material, one end of the strip having at least one tab extending in the plane of the strip, the tab adapted to be bent to form a hook for engaging a side wall of an electrical box, an arm having a first flange at one end of the strip and a second flange at the other end, a plurality of locking tongues spaced apart at intervals on each side of the strip, each of the tongues having a locking portion facing the one end of the strip and a bend line such that at least one of the tongues may be bent so the locking portion fits into a slot provided in the electrical box, and at least one bend line across the strip such that a portion of the strip adjacent the other end may be bent substantially perpendicular to the strip to accommodate a different depth of hollow wall structure.
