REMOVING AN EXISTING DOORBELL BUTTON
-
Step 1: WARNING: Turn the power off at the fuse or circuit breaker before removing the doorbell button.
-
Step 2: Remove the screws from the existing doorbell. If the doorbell is caulked, use a utility knife to cut through the caulk before removing the button.
If the button doesn’t have screws (or screws that are not visible), then it may be like one the models in this manual that uses a set screw and mounting bracket or a button that has a retaining bracket. If that is the case, remove the set screw and mounting bracket or for a button with a retaining bracket, place a flat head screwdriver underneath the button housing and gently pry it loose and remove the button. -
Step 3: Loosen the two screws holding the doorbell wires to the button on the back and disconnect the wires.
It doesn’t matter which wire goes to which screw terminal.

INSTALLING THE NEW DOORBELL BUTTON
-
Step 1: WARNING: Turn the power off at the fuse or circuit breaker before installing the doorbell button.
-
Step 2: If necessary, drill a 3/4” diameter hole approximately 1/2 inches deep where the button piece (where the wires will be connected to) will be installed.
-
Step 3: Place the backplate where the mounting screw holes will be made. This will be used as a template. Mark where the screw holes will go with a pencil.
-
Step 4: Drill pilot holes using a 3/32 or 7/64 drill bit.
-
Step 5: Secure the backplate to the wall or door frame using the two included screws using a Phillips screwdriver. If using a drill to secure the backplate, do not use too much force as this may cause the screw to break.
-
Step 6: If necessary, use needle-nose pliers to bend a J-loop in the ends of the bare wires. Slip one wire loop around a loosened screw on the back of the new doorbell button piece and tighten the screw to hold the wire in place. Do the same for the second wire and check that both are solidly attached.
It doesn’t matter which wire goes to which screw terminal. -
Step 7: Put the metal housing and button piece over the backplate and secure it with the set screw at the bottom using the included Allen wrench.
