Wired Lighted Door Bell Push Button, White

Dimensions: (W xD x H) = 1.16" X .95" X 3.41". Thanks for your question!

Yes. I use 18 gauge wire as well.

3/4 of an inch wide.

2.25"

Very easy to install. No complications.

From the product description on Home Depot's website: Product Depth (in.) 0.6 Product Height (in.) 2.75 Product Width (in.) 0.75 If you're asking about the button itself, it occupies ~50% of the total spaced noted in each dimension.

My client had a wireless button and chime. The batteries in the bell does deplete quickly and there’s nothing to do. Also there is no way to add a wired button to a wireless chime. You need to replace the wireless chime and button with a wired button and chime which also requires installing a transformer that gets hard wired into the electrical panel. If you are a skilled in electrical issues then it’s easy but if you aren’t the please call a licensed electrician.

If you are certain the transformer is ok, be sure 1 wire goes strait to the door bell chime and the other wire is attached to the transformer. See my photos per reviews as well.

no..

Usually, doorbells operate off a step-down transformer that reduces the house voltage down to 24 volts AC. In that case, it is recommended - but not totally necessary - to kill the power (see below). ----- BUT----- While these switches are intended to be used at 24VAC, it is possible the doorbell runs off household 120VAC. That is very different. (The little light bulb would likely blow out, but it is you, not the light bulb, I am concerned about) If the switch is being used at household 120 VAC, you must kill the power to the doorbell circuit. You do not have to kill power to the whole house, just that one circuit is fine. If you can identify the circuit breaker or fuse that "feeds" the circuit, by turning off the breakers one at a time until the circuit goes dead, just opening that one breaker or removing the fuse is sufficient. JUST BE CAREFUL. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. If you are still in doubt, pay someone. It is money well spent if it keeps you from getting a shock.
