Aluminum Bar Linear Vent Cover with Damper

SKU: DABLD-8X2-White-Wall

Manufacturing time is 2 to 4 weeks.

An extruded aluminum bar linear register for ceiling and wall installation, with an integral opposed-blade damper. Every unit is made to order: choose the opening size, one of six blade profiles, a mounting method, and a finish. Openings run from 8" to 84" long in a single piece.

Integral Damper

An opposed-blade damper is built in and operated with a flat head screwdriver through the face — so a ceiling run can be balanced or shut off from a ladder, without pulling the register or reaching into the duct.

Six Blade Profiles

The 15° and 30° profiles angle the bars away from the face; the rest run straight at 0°. Five of the six add nothing to the price — only the heel-proof core is an upgrade.

Made to Your Opening

Two hundred and seventy-two size combinations — fifteen opening heights from 2" to 20", and lengths from 8" to 84". Built to order rather than cut down from a standard part.

Extruded Aluminum

Extruded rather than stamped, so the bars hold a true line across a long ceiling run where any sag or twist would be obvious against the plane of the ceiling.

Two Mounting Methods

Mounting screws or concealed fastening, chosen in Custom Options. Concealed fastening leaves no visible hardware in the ceiling or wall plane.

Paint It or Leave It

Silver powder coat is the one to order if the register will be field painted to match the ceiling; Mill is bare aluminum for a shop that will powder coat it; White is a finished true-white semi-gloss.

Choose your blade style

Blade style is set in Custom Options above, not by the size selector. It changes both how the register looks and how it throws air. –00– is the most commonly ordered.

Blade style 00: straight bars set at zero degrees with 1/5 inch spacing
–00– 0° deflection, 1/5" blade
Most common
Blade style 01: pencil-proof profile with a quarter inch blade
–01– Pencil proof, 1/4" blade
Blade style 15: bars angled at fifteen degrees with 1/5 inch spacing
–15– 15° deflection, 1/5" blade
Blade style 30: bars angled at thirty degrees with 1/5 inch spacing
–30– 30° deflection, 1/5" blade
Blade style 82: fine 1/8 inch blades set at zero degrees for maximum air flow
–82– 0° air flow, 1/8" blade
Blade style 84: 1/8 inch blades at half inch spacing
–84– 1/8" blade at 1/2" spacing
Paid upgrade

Choose your mounting

Set in Custom Options. Two methods are offered for ceiling and wall work, and both hold the register against gravity.

Mounting style A: countersunk screw holes through the face of the register
A — Mounting screws
Included at no extra cost
Mounting style C: concealed brackets that fix the register with no visible fasteners
C — Concealed fastening
No visible hardware — paid upgrade

Spring clips are not offered on this model, and should not be used on one. The manufacturer rates spring clips for sill and floor applications only — not for ceiling or wall. Mounting screws and concealed fastening are both rated for ceiling, wall, sill and floor, which is why those are the two choices here. If you need spring clips, you are looking for the floor installation model.

Sizing

Order by the opening size. The register face adds 1-11/16" to both the height and the length, so it overlaps the opening and sits flush against the ceiling or wall.

  • Opening heights: 2", 2-1/2", 3", 3-1/2", 4", 5", 6", 7", 8", 10", 12", 14", 16", 18", 20"
  • Opening lengths: 8" to 24" in 2" increments, then every 6" up to 84"
  • Depth required: 2-11/16"
  • Maximum single piece: 84". For a longer continuous run, contact the sales team.

8" 9-11/16" 8" to 84"
10" 11-11/16" 8" to 84"
12" 13-11/16" 8" to 78"
14" 15-11/16" 8" to 72"
16" 17-11/16" 8" to 66"
18" 19-11/16" 8" to 66"
20" 21-11/16" 8" to 60"

Lengths run 8" to 24" in 2" increments, then every 6". The taller the register, the shorter the longest single piece — from 12" high upward the maximum length steps down, as shown above.

Damper operation

The damper is adjusted with a flat head screwdriver through the face. Where the operator sits depends on which blade profile you choose — four use Detail A, and the –01– and –84– cores use Detail B.

Detail A — the –00–, –15–, –30– and –82– cores

Four of the six blade profiles use the Detail A arrangement. If you are ordering a standard 0° face, a 15° or 30° deflection, or the fine –82– air flow core, this is the one that applies to you.

Detail B — the –01– and –84– cores

The pencil-proof –01– core and the –84– core use the Detail B arrangement instead. The damper still adjusts from the face with a flat head screwdriver — only the operator position differs.

"The product is great and the servi5has been good so far."

Jody S. (5/5)

Took 5 weeks and came. . .

"I wasn’t going to leave a review but since you’ve bothered me 3 times asking me to leave one here it goes. Two of them showed up dented. The outside box was fine so it wasn’t damaged in shipping. We have no time to order new ones."

"Love the vent. Just confused because I ordered 5 total vents and only received 1. Not that i was billed for 5 but now I have to reorder and wait weeks to get the rest to finish the job. But great quality!"

Dave B. (5/5)

Excellent. . .

"Couldn't of been more happy."

RICHARD W. (5/5)

Another Excellent. . .

"I have ordered around 30 custom vents from here and have loved all of them. They are much better than what you can find in large retailers and the fit is excellent. Easy to adjust and very well made! Another excellent result!"

Aaron K. (5/5)

Phone number does not. . .

"Calling 888-622-4225, the number at the top of the website, leads to a message which says ""No one is available to take your call. "" and then it hangs up. During business hours. This business is likely no longer around, unfortunately. Great concept though."

Karsten A. (2/5)

My people did not like.

"I ordered one as a product prototype for my people. They said that they are not willing to use a screwdriver to adjust the dampers. Looks like I have lost almost a hundred bucks."

Beautiful. . . Delivered on time!!

FAQs

Decorative resin covers are designed for wall and ceiling applications only — they are not rated for floor use. They're lightweight enough to mount safely overhead and decorative enough for walls where you want more visual detail than a stamped metal grille. If you need a floor register, our wood, metal, and cast iron options are built to be walked on.

Resin covers don't rust like metal, don't splinter like wood, and are significantly lighter than either — which makes them ideal for ceilings. They're formulated to handle the thermal cycling of central air and heat, so they won't warp or crack from temperature changes. Urethane resin is also stable in moisture-rich environments like bathrooms, where metal can corrode and wood can swell.

Yes — unfinished resin covers can be painted to match your walls or trim. However, covers that have already been painted at the factory are non-returnable. If you plan to paint, order an unpainted cover, apply your chosen color after testing on a sample, and install once dry. Standard spray paint adheres well to resin; no special primer is required for most colors.

Yes. Our decorative resin covers are available in standard sizes and hard-to-find dimensions — the same custom sizing program that covers wood and metal also applies to resin. If your duct opening doesn't match a listed size, contact us with your measurements and we'll confirm what's available. Allow approximately 6 weeks for custom resin orders.
