An improved apparatus and method for mounting an electrical box between studs in a wall is disclosed. The apparatus of the invention is a mounting bracket comprising a relatively flat, elongated frame having a front planar face, a rear planar face, and a first and second opposing ends attachable to two corresponding wall studs. The frame also has a central cut-out portion which defines a top edge and a bottom edge. An electrical box and its accompanying faceplate may be mounted between two wall studs by first attaching the bracket of the present invention to the wall studs. The open front end of the box is then placed flush against the rear face of the bracket such that a top portion of the box contacts the top edge of the bracket and a bottom portion of the box contacts the bottom edge of the bracket. Similarly, the accompanying faceplate is placed on the front face of the bracket opposite and aligned with the box such that a top portion of the faceplate contacts the top edge and a bottom portion of the faceplate contacts the bottom edge. The mounting is completed by fastening the box and the faceplate to the bracket. Mounted in this manner, the front end of the box will be substantially flush with the plane formed by the wall studs regardless of the depth of the box.
