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 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 instructions are on the next page.
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 button assembly 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: 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 6: Secure the button to the wall or door frame using the two
included screws with a Phillips screwdriver. If using a drill to secure the
button, do not use too much force as this may cause the screw to
break.
