Product Overview
The Akuvox R29 Surface Mount Box is a steel back box for mounting a compatible Akuvox R29-series touch screen door station directly onto an external wall. Unlike a flush installation, it doesn't require a recessed wall cavity — the box 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).
