Byron2204BC Hard Wired Surface Mounted Bell Push Chime Door Bell - Chrome

Ive had a very poorly made white plastic bell for several years, i was told to replace it and it needed to be a chrome, satin chrome type pusher. That was the brief so i picked this based on reviews and also manufacturer as Byron seems to be one of the main brands of Doorbells and pushers.The Good* It does look very very nice. The unit is heavy enough to not wonder if it will stand up to agitated delivery drivers attempting to press it into submission but its very solid.* The bracket is easy to fit, a couple of screws, there are rawl plugs if you need them. I read lots of reviews stating the bell push was fiddly to connect up, some people have cited it as a reason to return and whilst i did find it fiddly i expected it and there are ways to make it easier.* As per the pictures i picked up on someone elses tip that you can unscrew the push button from the switch unit, it isnt difficult and doesnt require any technical expertise. This means that you can get to the screw anchors much easier than when the switch unit is still screwed into the larger housing unit.* I would recommend using a sharp knife to lever up the metal strips so you can fit the wire underneath then simply screw the screw back into the hole to reshape it straight. The strips are stiff enough to do this a few times without worrying about warping or breaking them at all. Unless you have the touch of a hippo then this is easy.* Once the wires are in then simply screw the push button back onto the switch as per the pictures i have included.* The push is nice and fluid but does offer a comforting level of resistance, you wouldnt push it expecting it to fall apart.The Could be better* I am not marking the doorbell push down based on the fitting of the wires, use some patience and unscrew the housing and push from the switch unit and its easy enough.* The only issue i had is when fitting i dropped the unit on the path below, this resulted in a couple of scratches and a small ding. This is not the manufacturers fault, they are not built expecting to be dropped or have horses come around to press the pusher in, it was just my mistake so do be careful when handling. Dropping onto a hard surface could pickle the aesthetics.Overall i highly recommend, its not overly difficult to fit, works just fine and looks great.Five Stars!

A good quality bell push for your wired door bell. A very simple fit - just screw the mounting plate to the wall or door frame, attach the two wires by screw terminals then attach the bell push to the mounting plate and tighten the bottom securing screw. Cant go wrong with this unless you fit it upside down (screw should be at the bottom). Nice action - very short stroke so a gentle push is all that’s required. It has a very shiney chrome mirror finish. I’m using it on a 12v mains bell system but it would work on any wired bell system as its just a two wire button.

I read the other reviews on here about how difficult this is to fit with a sense of disbelief. It's a doorbell, two wires, how hard can it be? 90 minutes later I knew exactly how hard it could be. To be honest after removing my old plastic bell push I only had about 2 inches of stiff wire to play with so it was always going to be fiddly, but whoever designed the connections on this doorbell could have made it a whole lot easier. Tiny screws which never seem to tighten properly and are easy to lose. The old bell push had nice large connectors similar to a 13amp plug, dead easy to wire. Anyway after using a connector block and a soldering iron I finally got it installed and working. And it looks nice.

Screws for wiring in are much too small and difficult to wire up. Need to be much bigger with washers. You also need watchmakers screwdriver as screw heads very small. Normal electric screwdriver much too big. Bracket that secures bellpush to wall is plastic and the screw that secures the cover goes right through the cover and drops out.. The appearance looks smart.

Well turned up super fast as usual, took all of 10 mins to install. Was simple just pop the old bell push off, undo the very small screws wrap the wires round do them up slip over the old mount, then do up the small securing screw job done. Probably take 25 mins fitting as new. Just make sure you have small screwdrivers, and set of snipenose pliers.
