Attaching Doorbell to door

Katgoddess

Silly question alert!

I brought a wire free doorbell from B&Q that was on special offer. The chime unit comes with screws to put it on the wall, and holes in the unit to install it.

However, the actual doorbell has no such holes. How on earth am I going to attach it to my door? My old doorbell had a hole in the back, and was attached to a screw on the door.

Many thanks :beer:

Hi Kat I had the same problem, when changing from wired to wireless. I superglued mine on to the PVC frame of my porch (not sure if it will be as effective on a hardwood door). It is still there after 4 years (not the best solution - but it suits me just fine)

we have just got one of those aswell if you look on the back of the doorbell there are 2 white covered circle bits if that makes sense, poke them with a screwdriver and there you have holes for your screws:D

You can get special sticky fixers for outdoors in the glues section of DIY stores - that's what mine's fixed with. It fell off recently for the first time in about 5 years and so I gave it some fresh sticky fixers and it's fine now - not as permanent as a screw, obviously, but it's an option.

I assume you mean the bellpush? Take the cover off and attach the baseplate with the screws supplied, then push the cover back on.

Double sided sticky pads and/or screw through baseplate into door frame. As stated, if for some bizarre reason there are no holes/screw in the baseplate, then just make a hole and use any old screw.

Thanks everyone. I managed to make a hole in it with my screwdriver, like suggested and it's now up on the door, on the hole for the last one. I also found the instructions hidden between the cardboard packaging.

Just trying to figure out how to pair it now. :mad:
