I know this question comes up every once in a while as far as where to find "intercom" or "hotline" phones that are battle-hardened, so here's a site that carries a line of phones that are very minimalist in nature, and are built to withstand tremendous amounts of abuse.

Pull down the menu to "Coinless/Prison/Inmate" phones.
I have cross-posted this to inet-access, since those of you who run co-location shops with no communications methods other than a stupid buzzer button, or a really lame drive-through restaurant second-hand speaker/microphone system should consider purchasing one of these for each doorway in your facility. Combined with an ATA-186, Sipura, or other similar product that handled PLAR (Private Line Auto Ringdown, aka automatic hotline dialing) and the Asterisk open-source PBX platform, you should have no problem getting these to do the right thing for your facility.
I can't give any opinions of "Communication Connection", as I have not yet done business with them, but it's a good start for more Googling.
