Product Overview
The Akuvox R28 Surface Mount Box is a galvanized steel bracket that mounts a compatible Akuvox R27A or R28A door intercom directly onto an external wall. Unlike a flush installation, it doesn't require a recessed wall cavity — the bracket sits on the wall surface, holding the intercom securely for a fast, straightforward install.
It's the go-to option for retrofits, existing walls, and installations where cutting into the wall isn't practical or wanted. Supplied directly through Total Security Equipment (intercom sold separately).
Key Capabilities
Galvanized Steel Construction
A durable galvanized steel bracket resists corrosion and holds up to continuous outdoor exposure.
No Wall Cavity Required
Mounts straight onto an external wall surface — no cutting, cavity, or recessed box needed.
Dual-Model Compatibility
Fits both the Akuvox R27A and R28A door intercoms for a precise, factory-matched fit.
Fast, Simple Install
A quick installation compared to a flush mount kit — ideal when the wall is already finished.
Best For
Retrofits where cutting a recess into the wall isn't practical or desired.
Non-invasive installs that avoid permanent changes to the wall.
Faster to fit than a flush mount kit, suiting time-sensitive installs.
Straightforward surface fixing to brick, render, or masonry pillars.
Why Choose the Akuvox R28 Surface Mount Box
Not every job calls for a flush installation. This surface mount box gives the R27A/R28A a secure, factory-matched fixing without needing to cut into the wall — a practical choice for retrofits and finished walls. Available from Total Security Equipment.
