Discontinued - Vandal Resistant Single Gang Electrical Outlet Lock Box with Key Lock
Product Overview
The AA-EB-5R is a heavy-duty, vandal-resistant outlet lock box designed to protect single-gang electrical receptacles in exposed or high-risk environments. Built from robust 12-gauge stainless steel and secured with a concealed keyed cylinder lock, it effectively resists tampering, corrosion, and weather exposure. Ideal for schools, parks, transit hubs, and military installations, this USA-made box features bottom-only conduit access and a removable backplate for straightforward installation.
Note 1: Replaced by the AA-EB-1G-CL.
Note 2: Keyed alike.
Note 3: Receptacle outlet is not included with the housing. Most boxes on the market should fit, but for a known receptacle box that was tested to fit, click here.
UL Certification & Code Compliance
Our heavy-duty enclosures are engineered strictly as secondary architectural physical security hardware. The AA-EB-5R does not house electrical wiring; it is designed to be mounted directly to the structural wall over your existing, fully compliant, UL-listed electrical box and its associated UL-listed cover. Because our product operates entirely outside the electrical system, it does not require an independent UL electrical listing. To comply with local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) bonding requirements (such as NEC 250), the stainless steel enclosure can be readily bonded to the equipment grounding conductor by your installing electrician.
Key Features
- Vandal Resistant Construction: 12-gauge stainless steel body with a tamper-resistant design to deter abuse and forced entry.
- Keyed Cylinder Lock: Hidden and secure locking mechanism for added security in public spaces without exposed padlocks.
- Weather-Resistant Design: Engineered to deflect spray and dripping liquids from internal components.
- Bottom Conduit Access: Accepts 1/2" conduit (up to 0.8" OD) through the bottom only (rear access not supported on this legacy model).
- LEED-Compliant Construction: Made from sustainable, recyclable stainless steel to meet green building certifications.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically using TIG welds and deburred edges to ensure top-tier finish and performance.
