The bracket further includes a front opening surrounded by the end walls and side walls for inserting an electrical device into the frame. The frame has an end-mounted position in which the first end wall faces the stud. A fastening structure, connected to the frame, is configured to be fastened to the stud when the frame is in the end-mounted position. An extension extends rearward from the first end wall. A stabilizer extends from the extension in a direction away from the second end wall. The stabilizer is configured to abut the side surface of the stud at a location rearward from the side walls when the frame is in the end-mounted position.
