In the ongoing Schuko saga, the kitchen fitters have installed two dry

recognised way of fitting a back box?

Can dry lining boxes be used with chipboard? Someone told me they
were intended for plasterboard only, but I suspect this is incorrect.

Kitchen fitters tend to use the cheapest and fastest method.

Better alternatives are available when you DIY.

I guessed that. I'm wondering whether it is a recognised method or a
bodge. i

Certainly a recognised method but badly executed. Within the backbox
itself there might be a method to aligning the faceplate when fitted as
there is in most metal plaster in boxes.
