Description
Need a tough, good-looking entry phone that holds up to weather, vandalism, and daily wear without sacrificing style? The Viking K-1700-3-BN-EWP delivers handsfree speakerphone communication in a vandal-resistant, oil rubbed bronze finish backed by Enhanced Weather Protection — built to handle the real world at any entrance.
This entry phone is built around a 14-gauge louvered stainless steel faceplate with a stainless steel speaker and mic screen, a heavy-duty metal keypad, and a rugged "Call" button — all designed to resist abuse and keep working. Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) makes it suitable for exposed outdoor installations where rain, snow, and condensation are a regular factor. Whether you're securing a residential gate, apartment building entrance, or commercial facility, the K-1700-3-BN-EWP fits in where standard phones would fail.
Installation is straightforward with the included zinc plated steel rough-in box and dual conduit knockouts, and the oil rubbed bronze finish gives it a refined look that blends naturally with upscale architectural hardware. Advanced call progress detection handles disconnects automatically, and multiple selectable options let you fine-tune behavior to match your site's needs.
Our Expert Take: The oil rubbed bronze finish makes the K-1700-3-BN-EWP a smart pick for luxury residential properties, boutique hotels, or any location where a standard gray or silver phone would look out of place. The combination of EWP weatherproofing, vandal-resistant construction, and advanced call progress detection means you're not trading reliability for aesthetics. If you need a surface-mounted option rather than a flush install, the optional VE-6x7 Surface Mount Box keeps the clean look intact without extra fabrication work.
