I'm thinking there is, of course, such a thing as a two-sided,

It's crazy that these don't exist.

Yeah, he could have sold one to you.Â* For an electrician it is just
another thing to have with little value.Â* Boxes are cheap, easy to
install and a single box has more room than a back to back double.

Look around your house and most others and you will there are few places
it could be used.

opening for a single gang box.
