Description
Need a tough, attractive entry phone that handles high-traffic doors without looking like an afterthought? The Viking K-1700-3-BN delivers handsfree speakerphone access control in a polished oil rubbed bronze finish that holds up to vandalism, weather, and daily abuse.
Built around a 14-gauge louvered stainless steel faceplate with a stainless steel speaker and mic screen, heavy-duty metal keypad, and metal "Call" button, this unit is engineered to resist tampering and physical damage in demanding environments. A yellow "in use" LED gives visitors clear visual feedback, while independent volume controls for both the microphone and speaker let you dial in crisp, clear audio for any installation location.
Advanced call progress detection automatically disconnects on a busy signal, return to dial tone, CPC reorder tone, or after a selectable maximum call time — keeping your system clean and responsive without manual intervention. Whether you're outfitting a gated community, apartment complex, office building, or school, the K-1700-3-BN installs cleanly with the included zinc plated steel rough-in box or an optional VE-6x7 surface mount box.
Our Expert Take: The oil rubbed bronze finish makes this model a natural fit for upscale residential buildings or boutique commercial spaces where aesthetics matter as much as durability. The selectable auto-answer and VOX switching speed features give installers real flexibility — particularly useful in lobbies or vestibules where hands-free convenience is a priority. If you need a surface-mount solution rather than a flush installation, grab the optional VE-6x7 box at the same time to save yourself a return trip.
