Is the doorbell push button easy to install on the wall outside your home?

Yes that part was easy. My problem was the ringer went off without anyone ringing the bell, somehow garage openers or other electronics set it off. So it rang at all hours of the day & night. Bummer, because theirs nobetter looking doorbell.

It is fairly easy to install follow the instructions and you should be fine I am a contractor so we put them in all the time but you don't need special skills

Yes. The outside button is included but an optional installation. I did not use them.

It is really easy to install; it took me about 8 minutes. BUT, you have to have an outlet nearby, which can be a problem in a lot of bathrooms since most people don't put an outlet near their toilet. I had an outlet added next to my toilet.

If you mean the doorbell switch, it does not look like it would hold up to adverse weather to me. Honeywell sells another switch that others have indicated have survived weather, the RPWL301A1006/A Decor Wireless Surface Mount Push Button, see their FAQ. You can always add a bead or silicon around the edges- but keep in mind you need to split the casing to change the batteries.

The door ringer button can be screwed into the wall with supplied screws, but you need to drill or punch 2 holes in the back of the case, also you need to open the back of the case with a small screwdriver to install the battery. Or an easier way you can place double stick mounting tape which is supplied inside the doorbell and attach it to the wall. For the bell part you can either place a screw in the wall and hook it there or you can use a small picture hook, or for that matter you can place it on the table. Hope the info helps Gino.

You can use an existing doorbell. That is what I did and it works beautifully.

Hi Rick--you have to provide your own transformer (and/or batteries), and buttons. I purchased Heath Zenith 121AC Wired Door Chime Transformer and two NuTone PB7LSN Wired One-Lighted Door Chime Push Button, Satin Nickel Finish. I also separately purchased some doorbell wire, I think 18AWG (18 gauge). I think you can get a higher gauge number (thinner) but I was making long runs to the back and front doors of my commercial building, so wanted to have more copper for the long runs of wire. I specifically wanted a hard-wired doorbell because wireless has not been very reliable for me, and I needed complete reliability.

Yes, it is very quick and easy..when i programmed mine i did have to push a button on the old key fob even though it didnt work as well, but it was a success.

Christopher; yes switch is easy to push with hands. Responds to light pressure, no more than any other push-button switch you may have used. Denny

The buttons do require a fairly firm push. I owned a couple of MWs before this one and they were about the same. There is no "Nag" beep. I just tried mine and after half an hour still no "Nag". I must say, the only problem I had with mine was on installation. The door is subject to alignment problems unless installation is exactly "Square"....in alignment side-to-side and front-to-back. The installation screws allow you to make the adjustments. Otherwise, the door hinge area will make a popping sound when closing. It does not interfere with the operation but is aggravating till properly aligned. Make sure the installer knows this and test the door swing before the installer leaves.

The outside button seems to be weather resistant. My porch is covered, but it gets wet periodically. It is all solid state, so I think you'll be OK.

In our opinion, no. We live in the country, as well as a region where when it rains or snows often the wind blows as well. This has been a bad combo on doorbells we have had in the past. With this one my husband "built" a little cover out of a plastic cola bottle. It leaves the button accessible, yet shields it somewhat to attempt to keep it dry. We bought the doorbell in January 2013, so far, so good.

If you mean to use the button as a call or alarm button, with the chime unit elsewhere, should be fine. The distance is severely limited by metal, ie my apartment front door, which cuts the range to about 25 ft. But if you're in a normal wood-frame house, you should be fine. Clever idea! Doorbell button does have to be pressed firmly--you'd want to go over it several times with practice runs if you're dealing with frail or confused person. Best of luck!

The doorbell will work great with up to six pushbuttons. Only one comes included in the package. The included pushbutton can be found at Honeywell RPWL300A1007/A Decor Wireless Surface Mount Push Button

I use Command Strips... with the weight of this unit with (3) C batteries installed, I went with black heavy-duty strips (probably overkill)... simplest and easiest way to install just about anything... especially if I'm not really sure where I want to place something and leaves no residue or marks. If I'm just installing the doorbell switch, same goes except, I use a small or medium 3M Command Strip... you can get them just about anywhere... So it really doesn't matter if your door frame is plastic, wood, metal, rubber, or titanium!

I cannot verify, but i believe so! you are simply programming each system to one pushbutton. If you already have a wired doorbell, you can use this to extend. So when your wired pushbutton is pressed, your wired doorbell will ring downstairs and your wireless will ring upstairs
