Viking Electronics PNL65-BK E-65 Series Replacement Faceplate in Black
Overview
The PNL65-BK is a direct replacement faceplate for Viking Electronics E-65 Series entry phones. If an installed E-65-BK faceplate is damaged, defaced, or needs to match a refreshed building aesthetic, the PNL65-BK restores factory appearance without pulling the entire unit. It ships with color-matching black screws and an LED light pipe — the two small parts most likely to go missing in a field repair. At 123.8mm x 125.4mm x 4.3mm, it fits the original footprint exactly. Construction is 18 gauge 304 stainless steel with a textured black finish, the same specification as the OEM panel it replaces.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for the Viking E-65 Series entry phones in black — including the E-65-BK video entry phone. The PNL65-BK is the black-finish variant; the base PNL65 covers stainless and other finish options in the same series. Do not attempt to fit this panel to other Viking entry phone families — the mounting pattern and dimensions are E-65 Series specific.
Installation Notes
The PNL65-BK mounts with #6-32 x 1.25" flat head screws using a 5/64" hex drive — bring the correct Allen key to the job. The 4.3mm panel depth is flush-designed for the E-65 body; seating the LED light pipe correctly before tightening hardware prevents misalignment. No wiring changes are required; this is a mechanical swap only. Total shipping weight is 0.1 kg, making it practical to stock as a spare on any entry phone accessory shelf.
