A retractable electric wall outlet assembly for providing selective access to receptacles includes a cover plate with an electrical box pivotally coupled for movement therethrough. The electrical box includes electrical receptacles and is pivotally movable between a retracted configuration in which the receptacles are not accessible and an extended configuration in which the receptacles are accessible. An electric box front surface is generally flush with a cover plate front surface at the retracted configuration while the electric box is forwardly extended at the extended configuration. A latch assembly including a latch member and slot structure is mounted to a rear surface of the electric box and cover plate for selectively holding or releasing the electric box to move between configurations. The latch member is biased to be selectively held or released from cooperating deep and shallow slots regulates movement between configurations.
