Abstract
An electrical box cover includes a housing having a base wall adapted to be attached to an electrical box. The base wall is surrounded by an outwardly extending side wall. A hood is pivotally attached to the housing and moveable between an open and closed position. A latch is selectively attachable to the side wall at one of a first and second position. The latch, when attached to said side wall, is engagable with the hood to retain the hood in the closed position.
