1. An electrical gang box, comprising:
a main compartment having a front, a back, and a rectilinear front opening at the front, the main compartment being sized and adapted to accept an electrical control;
first securing structure around the front opening and facing the front, the securing structure adapted to secure the electrical control in the main compartment;
a lower compartment extending below and depending from the main compartment, the lower compartment having contiguous sidewalls with the main compartment and a lesser depth than the main compartment, such that the lower compartment is set back from the front of the main compartment, the lower compartment open to the main compartment along substantially the entirety of an upper extent thereof;
at least one pair of rails disposed on opposite interior walls of the main compartment above and separate from a bottom of the main compartment, oriented to extend horizontally along a depth of the main compartment; and
a divider panel sized to slide into and extend between the at least one pair of rails, the divider panel having a depth that is less than the depth of the main compartment.
