A Guide on How to Fix Loose Electrical Outlets 

Clear, concise instructions. Safe and simple options (for someone who doesn't like to mess with electrical stuff🙂). Thank you!

The only video I could found that really shows how to fix a loose outlet box. Thank you

Thank you so much for this video. I love that you don't add so much fluff. You give clear instructions and what each item is.

This is one of the greatest RU-vid Simple how to videos! Thanks!

Great video, I was aware of the folding spacers but the others you mentioned are great alternatives to know about!

watched at least 10 tutorials. this was by far the best. comprehensive yet easy to understand

I had no idea any of these things existed, but how incredibly helpful to learn about the different causes and solutions; thank you so much! I'm a "Why?" person, so your explanations are SUPER helpful! 🤩

This was a fantastic video. One of the best how-to’s I’ve seen on RU-vid.

Ron. Great video! I loved your complete and matter of fact presentation...I especially liked the fact that you avoided any awful introductory jingle and overwhelming background music and you JUST GOT ON WITH THE JOB! Well done.

Ron, outstanding video on how to fix these electrical situations. Really appreciate how concise and informative you made this video. I was not aware of the various extensions you could buy for the electrical box. Thanks so much.

Wanted to say Mahalo for having this video still available for viewing. Your video made it possible for us to run a 25' line from the sink to the refrigerator. And yes, Amazon was the place I purchased the line and clips. I ended up using your link for the water line, but I had issues, but I was able to purchase it. Mahalo again for the help, even years later. 👍 👍

Great suggestions to fix an annoying problem. Thank you!

Easy to follow and straight to the point, awesome video, thank you!

The wall plate spacer worked like a charm- thanks!

I am a single mom and I can't afford electricians so I try to learn as much as I can to do myself (safely of course). This video was so informative and easy to understand and I'm so thankful you actually provided footage of each scenario. I'm saving this and will be implementing it!!! Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the video...it helped me out a lot around the house!

Thank you! I will now go fix my outlets.

Thanks so much for this video. They just redid a bunch of electrical sockets at my moms house, however, they are all loose as hell. I have to go back and fix them. I appreciate the time you took to give us this information. Have a nice day, and happy holidays.

Thank you I did step by step and I finally fixed this loose outlet thank you for your help.

Thankyou! Definitely going to use the wall-plate spacer method to fix my issue

Thank you sir

Thanks so much !!!

This was great.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Thanks answered the question I had in my mind what to do when I add an extra layer of drywall.😀

Not the video I was looking for but still nice to watch. Thanks. Currently, there are outlets in my home that won't hold a plug anymore. I believe the "receptacles" that hold the plugs are worn out. Seems like I'll have to replace the plugs entirely.

Thank you so much!

Pretty neat spacers!

Thanks great tips.

Loved this video, thanks dude.

great video. thanks.

I'm learning everyday

Awesome video

Thank you sir! This is such a huge help :D

Still going strong 👊🏻 great video too.

Amazing!!

Nice

👍👍👍👍great stuff

You get the spacer when you buy mirror plates. I think they should be with all plug in parts. Just in case.

Thank you RU-vid dad. I needed to confirm that my apartment did NOT fix this right which I had a feeling!

Yo are a god 🎉

Thanks for the video! What causes all my outlets to come lose is that it’s becoming so difficult to plug and remove appliances. What’s a good way to make this smoother? Can I use WD40?

Our outlet in the living room where the TV plugs in is loose which has been bothering me a lot. I don't feel like telling my dad or calling an electrician to fix the outlet by using the steps from this video here as it's not really a safety hazard or that the plugs don't work as it's all normal as it would take a lot of time to fix it as we need to use spacers to make sure it doesn't get to recessed into the wall where the cover plate is at it's normal distance from the wall and the electrical box. But since it's annoying me and it's not worth really to fix as there's no safety issue or that the plugs are malfunctioning, I decided to fix the looseness by putting big tape on the side where it's loose where it's the left side. All of the others sides are okay and I probably think this happened because it was installed too deeply into the wall and that proves that all outlet installations are not at the same depth from the wall

Is it bad to use metal washer or metal nuts instead of plastic spacers?

Whats the red one called?

I like to use washers.

Where to get these parts?

I’ve tried all three types of spacers, but the screws simply will not stay in place, I can pull them without any need to unscrew/the slide right out. Do I buy thicker screws? I h

Wil any of the methods work for a loose tooth?

Super-clear video! But for some reason, the wall plate spacer did not fix the "loose box in the wall" problem for me. I installed the wall plate spacer as shown, reassembled everything, and plugged something into the upper outlet. When I pull on the plug, the outlet still moves just as much as without the wall plate spacer (particularly the top half of the outlet). Any further ideas? Thank you!

No links to products?😢

Thanks dad lol

bushings not alternative chords

4 minutes perfect. 15 minutes ain't nobody got time for that.

Wait...I may not need to replace all the outlets???

Squeeze the plug in with your shirt until the two metal parts are closer to each other. DIY

my screw’s won’t tighten? Now what?
