Description
Need a tough, compact door phone that blends into modern entryways without sacrificing reliability? The Viking E-60-BK delivers clear two-way communication in a sleek textured black finish, sized to flush mount directly into a standard double gang electrical box.
Despite its compact footprint — roughly the size of a typical double gang mid-size wall plate — the E-60-BK is built to handle real-world conditions. Weather resistant features include a Mylar speaker faceplate gasket, mic and speaker gaskets, an internally sealed IP67-rated push button, a self-draining mic mount, and UV stable powder coating. Vandal resistance comes from an 18-gauge stainless steel faceplate, stainless steel push button and speaker screen, scratch resistant coating, and hex drive mounting screws that deter tampering. It runs entirely on telephone line power, so there's no separate power supply to install or maintain.
This entry phone suits apartment buildings, office entrances, medical facilities, and anywhere you need a dependable intercom without a bulky footprint. Intelligent call progress detection handles automatic hang-up on CPC, silence, busy signal, or timeout — keeping your line free without any manual intervention. The selectable auto answer feature even allows passive monitoring when needed.
Our Expert Take: The E-60-BK is a strong pick when aesthetics and durability need to work together. The textured black powder coat finish holds up well over time and pairs cleanly with modern door hardware. If you need a different finish to match your entryway, Viking's PNL-40 replacement faceplates are available in all five standard finishes using the same unit — a practical option for multi-property managers who want to standardize on one model. The programmable VOX switching speed is a small but genuinely useful feature for dialing in audio quality across different installation environments.
