Wired Brass Doorbell Chime Push Button in Antique Brass Finish Vintage Decorative Door Bell with Easy Installation, 3 1/8" X 1 1/2"

This is a heavy metal door bell with a retro classic style that would look good in many types of house styles. It was easy to install, just connect 2 wires and then screw it to the wall. The push button action is robust, you won't mistake whether you pushed the button or not and the action is longer than the cheap plastic ones you find everywhere. As its antique brass and not bright brass there is low maintenance as it won't patina and start to look poorly. Its low profile is nice, easily fits on the wall and doesn't stick out much. I am glad I purchased this.

This switch is far more attractive than the rectangular plastic switches it replaced, and at the same time, far more durably constructed, while costing only a few bucks more! Really a great deal. I've had mine installed for about a month now as garage door buttons, and am super happy with them. Thrilled, really.Just FYI, the switch gets three demerits from me, that are not enough to diminish its overall five-star rating in my view, but still worth noting:(1) The mounting screws provided with the switch seem of very low quality. I had one break on me during installation, and another almost break, at which point I used some other screws I had on hand. Do not use the supplied screws. Seems like they could include higher quality screws with only very marginal cost increase. The cheap screws unnecessarily risk causing an outsized disappointment in the product.(2) As it says in the advertisement, the switch components project from the rear of the unit by 3/4". So it will take some extra effort to mount these. In my case, this resulted in a much more attractive installation than I would have had otherwise, so I am not the least disappointed. I found an old piece of wood to use as a stand-off base, which did double-duty by covering up the scars from the original switch installation. Maybe the manufacturer should offer a stained wooden stand-off as an add-on option, sparing the purchaser from having to construct the same, which not all purchasers could readily do.(3) I think the buttons are kind of hard to depress (though my wife thinks they're just fine) which when combined with the spherical button shape, seems not ideally ergonomic. Very robust though; I get no sense these switches will ever stop rebounding from a press, unlike the cheapo plastic switches they replaced.

This doorbell button is very solid and weighty. For the price, it was an excellent buy. Looks great with the cream trim around the door frame.

Looks stylish, and works fine. I bought this to replace the original plain doorbell that would stick in the ON position, because some people think they have to push the button as hard as they can. (Why is it some people, "my wife is one" have to push buttons as hard as they can?) For example: buttons on the phone, keyboard, washer& dryer, car, and everything else that has a button!I did have to wallow out the hole to get this one to fit into the original spot.Anyway I would buy this one again.

Some reviewers complained the supplied screws rusted. I am not surprised and will assume the screws are made of steel and are painted or some other finish. From past experience I learned not to use these types of screws outdoors when possible. The paint can flake off the head when screwing them in and quickly invite rust.For my switch I used brass screws which will not rust. See attached photo. The screws are lighter than my doorbell switch. Brass will naturally tarnish over time and will hopefully blend in with the antique brass finish. No rusty screws is my trade off. I used #6 screws which I already had on hand. The supplied screws are closer to #4 which will give a very flush fit.Other screw options are stainless steel, my second choice and zinc plated steel, my third choice.Some reviewers complained the supplied screws broke when installing. I took a close look at the supplied screws and in my opinion if pilot holes are properly drilled first the screws should not break. The smaller the screw diameter the greater chance a screw will break or strip if pilot holes are not used or not drilled to a large enough diameter. Also keep in mind brass is softer than steel so use pilot holes if you go this route. The same applies to stainless steel.I ordered my door bell switch in antique brass. I realize a photo can vary slightly on different computer monitors, but my switch is way darker than the picture shown on the Amazon product page. As other reviewers pointed out their antique brass finish was closer to an oil rubbed bronze finish. I agree.Four stars for design and solid brass material. One star taken away for the color of the finish.

I love that this adds an almost whimsical element to our entry. It's surprising how many people comment on our cute little doorbell button.

It’s made of good quality and looks great. Simple and sweet. I got the oil rubbed bronze one.

This is a great price for a quality product. I wanted an antique brass, vintage doorbell that wasn't going to break the bank and found this A29 bell. It arrived very quickly and was easy to install, but the color wasn't quite antique brass (didn't match the rest of my hardware-- handleset, knocker, etc). So I took a shot in the dark and emailed the company expecting to hear nothing back. Tom, a super helpful company rep got right back to me and explained that there are various shades of brass and color can vary, but that generally brass darkens with time. When I replied that I'd like a 'newer' one if possible, Tom immediately had one sent out to me. The color was perfect, the quality was top notch (nice and heavy duty). It arrived within two days and looks great with my new front door. Fabulous customer service and a great product. Recommend!
