ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for installing a recessed smoke detector within a surface so that when installed, the smoke detector is substantially completely hidden from view and flush with said surface. Two mounting plates are attached to opposite sides of a housing. A pair of mounting clips attached to a cover are insertable, respectively, into slots in each of the mounting plates. The smoke detector is attached to the cover. The cover has the appearance of a loudspeaker-like grille or other similar device so that smoke can enter through apertures to reach the smoke detector. The cover after mounting is substantially flush with a surface, such as a ceiling. With the smoke detector substantially completely recessed within a surface and the cover connected to the housing, the smoke detector is substantially completely concealed, and protected from vandals and tamperers. The apparatus is easily installed, which is an important advantage with the increased need for smoke detector installation. The apparatus also provides an aesthetically pleasing surface appearance.
