- Step 7: Using a drill, you will need to drill holes into your wall where you’ve marked positions. If you are installing on brick, stucco or concrete, you will want to use the included plastic anchors by hammering them into the hole so that your doorbell is secure. If you are using the optional mounting plate on wood walls or vinyl, you can use screws without the anchor.
- Step 8: Remove the level tool from the front of your device and place your Ring Doorbell 3 over the holes.
- Step 9: Feed all of the wires and wire nuts if you did use them into your wall. Secure your Ring Doorbell 3 on the wall, using all four of the included screws.
- Step 10: Select one of the provided faceplates and slot it into your Ring Doorbell, from the top. It should click into place.
- Step 11: Screw the screws into the faceplate, to ensure everything is secured together.
Once your Ring Doorbell 3 is all in place, you won’t have much trouble removing it for charging. It’s a pretty easy process, and ensuring the doorbell is straight and the wires are all in place is ideal for the perfect doorbell.
