Salamander Strut 170 Wall Stand, Single Mount, Black Oak Front, Black Trim w/ Door Lock - STR170/FH1/LK/BO/BK

Product Overview

The Salamander Strut 170 is a floor-supported display wall stand with an enclosed, lockable equipment bay behind a Black Oak front panel. It carries a single display and the electronics that drive it in one assembly, which removes the need for a separate credenza or in-wall backbox in rooms where neither is practical. The door lock on this variant makes it suitable for open-access spaces — lobbies, training rooms, shared huddle rooms — where the equipment needs to be secured against casual tampering. It installs against the wall without opening it up.

Product Description

Wall-mounting a display is the easy part of a commercial install. The hard part is where the switcher, codec, and power live once the display is up. Standard practice is an in-wall backbox or a credenza below the screen, and both have drawbacks: the backbox requires opening the wall and coordinating with the general contractor, and the credenza consumes floor depth and adds furniture to specify. The Strut 170 consolidates both into a single vertical assembly that carries the display on its face and the equipment behind its front panel, transferring load to the floor rather than to wall anchors alone.

For retrofit work this matters. Tenant-improvement projects, leased space, historic buildings, and any wall that cannot be opened all rule out the backbox approach. A floor-supported wall stand needs only a stabilizing wall attachment rather than structural blocking, which shortens the install and keeps the AV scope out of the construction schedule. The lockable front panel on this model addresses the other reality of shared rooms: equipment that is reachable gets touched. Cable management runs vertically inside the structure from the equipment bay to the display, so nothing is visible between the two. The Black Oak veneer front with black trim keeps the unit reading as furniture in a finished space rather than as exposed AV hardware.

Key Features

• Lockable Equipment Bay — The keyed front panel secures the codec, switcher, and source devices in shared and open-access rooms.
• Floor-Supported Load Path — Display and equipment weight transfers to the floor, so the wall needs a stabilizing attachment rather than structural blocking.
• Single Display Mount — An integrated VESA mount carries one commercial display on the face of the stand.
• Concealed Vertical Cable Path — Signal and power route internally between the equipment bay and the display with no visible cabling.
• Retrofit-Friendly Installation — No wall opening or in-wall backbox required, which keeps AV work off the construction critical path.
• Black Oak Veneer Front — A finished furniture-grade face that suits client-visible rooms and lobbies.
• Serviceable Access — The front panel opens for equipment service without dismounting the display.
• Multiple Finish Options — Available in American Cherry, Black Oak, Medium Walnut, Natural Oak, Walnut Gray, White, and Wenge Oak to match room millwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

What display sizes and weights will the Strut 170 carry?

The Strut 170 accepts a single commercial display on an integrated VESA mount and is rated by Salamander for typical conference room display sizes. Confirm your exact display weight and VESA pattern with our team before ordering — panel weight, not screen size, is the limiting specification on any display mount.

Does this require in-wall blocking or structural reinforcement?

No. The Strut 170 is floor-supported, so the wall attachment stabilizes the stand rather than carrying the display load. That is the main reason it gets specified in leased space, tenant improvements, and retrofits where opening the wall is not an option.

What is the difference between this model and STR170/FH1/BO/BK?

The LK in this part number denotes the door lock. Both models are otherwise identical single-mount Strut 170 wall stands in Black Oak with black trim. Specify the LK version for shared, unsupervised, or public-facing rooms and the standard version for controlled spaces.

Can a camera or video bar be mounted with the display?

Yes. Salamander offers factory-installed camera and speaker brackets and tech shelves that mount to the stand posts, including brackets sized for Crestron SB1 series UC bars. These are ordered with the stand rather than added later — see the full Salamander range for compatible accessories.

Does Creation Networks install these?

Yes. Creation Networks provides installation and AV system integration nationwide, including display mounting, equipment rack-up, cable termination, and commissioning. Contact our team for a room-by-room scope, or browse comparable display mounting solutions.
