Abstract: A device and method for installing and supporting an electrical remodel box from a section of gypsum board, the remodel box being of the type having a rectangular perimeter having a pair of substantially parallel sides spaced apart at a distance “w” and a pair of sides spaced apart at a distance “h”. The method involves using the device, which is a template tool which includes a base with a perimeter defined by at least one pair of substantially parallel sides, a level indicator extends between the substantially parallel sides, substantially parallel end sides between the substantially parallel sides, an upper surface and a flat lower surface, the lower surface being substantially flat. The user first locates an area on the gypsum board which is unsupported by a stud, and then places the template tool over the unsupported area. The parallel sides are then aligned the by using the level on the base.
