Tek-Tone Apartment Intercom System vs. a Custom-Designed Panel

Articles

The selection of an apartment entry intercom system requires careful evaluation of its durability features along with functionality and maintenance capabilities. The Tek-Tone AM491, AM492, AM612, and AM642 entry panels deliver an affordable basic solution yet custom-designed panels offer better durability and enhanced security features.

Tek-Tone Apartment Intercom Panels: Pros and Cons

Construction and Design: Extruded aluminum covers with brushed anodized finishes characterize Tek-Tone intercom panels. The design incorporates plastic elements including name covers and buttons. The Tek-Tone is very light, which lessens shipping cost.

Limitations:

Vandal Resistance: Despite being advertised as resistant to vandalism, Tek-Tone panels exhibit certain weaknesses. Stronger alternatives exist which offer improved protection from tampering and physical harm.
Plastic Name Covers: The name covers break or detach easily which results in the need for regular replacement. Each time a tenant vacates their unit requires manual replacement of the nameplate to update tenant information.
Material Durability: Aluminum is a softer metal which makes it susceptible to dents. The material of plastic endcaps becomes brittle when exposed to cold temperatures which makes them prone to breaking.

The Custom-Designed Panel Advantage

Property owners and managers who need reliable low-maintenance intercom options find custom-made panels beneficial.

Superior Build Quality:

Constructed with heavy-duty 14-gauge 304 stainless steel to deliver maximum durability together with vandalism resistance.
Engraved numbers on apartments eliminate removable nameplates which leads to reduced maintenance needs.
The system uses stainless steel buttons with IP67 rating that can endure extreme conditions while guaranteeing long-lasting performance.
This waterproof Mylar speaker delivers consistent clear audio performance regardless of weather conditions.
