An assembly for housing electrical outlets includes a junction box for mounting in a recess in a wall or floor, a ring for mounting on the open top or outer end of the box, at least one pair of opposed recesses in the ring for receiving an electrical outlet, a cover plate for covering the area of the ring containing the outlet, and a face plate for surrounding the cover plate and limiting access thereto. The cover plate, face plate and the mounting ring have snap in locking systems. Notches in the mounting ring permit disengagement of the cover plate locking system using a lever. The notches are normally covered by the face plate. The assembly is easy to install, and discourages tampering.
