Quick research has lead me to electrical box extenders, but they only work for so many inches, so I will need to find another way to accommodate that distance.I imagine the hack way to do it would be to get a thick block of wood and screw it into the stud with a few long screws then mount the electrical box onto that.o remove the existing box just cut the nails off with a hacksaw blade. Slide the old box off and replace with the above box. As Niall said for what you want an old work box, also called a cut in box or tiger grip box can easily be used. These can come in 1, 2 and 3 gang and also the round 3-O or 4-O.
