Tightening of the screw moves the flange toward the base to deform the deformable portion laterally for engaging a wall to hold an electrical box or the like in an opening through the wall. The base has legs extending therefrom in a direction opposite from the deformable portion for location on opposite sides of a boss on an electrical box. Wings extend outwardly from the legs and hook portions extend back toward the base from the wings for engaging shoulders on an electrical box.
