Vandal Resistant Locking Surface Mount Dryer Outlet Enclosure

The AA-EB-2170 is a low-profile, high-security outlet enclosure designed specifically for surface-mounted 2-gang electrical box applications, such as 220V dryer outlets. With a heavy-duty cam lock system and stainless steel construction, it provides reliable protection against vandalism, power theft, and tampering in communal laundry environments. The slim 1” depth allows for a secure, unobtrusive installation over existing infrastructure without requiring recessed wall modification.

This unit is available in two standard material thicknesses: 12-Gauge (Vandal Resistant) for high-risk areas requiring maximum durability, and 16-Gauge (Tamper Resistant) for lower-risk environments where incidental abuse is the primary concern. Other thicknesses are available as custom orders (please inquire).

Product Features:

• Surface Mount Design: Low-profile 1” depth mounts directly over existing 2-gang boxes, ideal for retrofit applications.
• Material Options: Available in 12-gauge (Vandal Resistant) or 16-gauge (Tamper Resistant) stainless steel. Custom gauges available upon request.
• Heavy Duty Cam Lock: Utilizes a MEILOCK 8350 cam lock to restrict access to high-voltage receptacles.
• Welded Seams: All seams are welded and dressed for a seamless, tamper-proof finish.
• Warranties:
  • 12-Gauge Models: 10-Year Anti-Vandalism Warranty (protects against prying by hand/body).
  • 16-Gauge Models: 2-Year Functional Warranty (protects against heavy use and incidental abuse).
• LEED Compliant: Manufactured using recyclable stainless steel to support sustainable building practices.
• Made in the USA: Expertly TIG-welded, deburred, and finished for long-lasting durability and professional appearance.
