Had an issue with the button we received that made it borderline unusable. Sent replacement without hesitation. That specific product requires some force to press, but the replacement unit was an improvement.

Buying notes
Is this the right fit?
- Good fit when
- Use this when the existing wired doorbell system works and you are replacing the outside button for fit, finish, lighting, or weather exposure.
- Look at another option when
- The chime does not ring even with the old button's two wires touched together. That points to the transformer or the chime, not the button. If you want a lighted button, check that the existing chime is the mechanical type most lighted buttons need.
- Mounting and fit
- This button is listed as surface mount. Surface-mount buttons sit on top of the trim or siding with the wires through a small hole behind them. Flush or recessed buttons drop into a cutout so the faceplate sits closer to the wall. Compare the mounting style, faceplate size, and screw spacing with the old button so the new one covers the old footprint and lines up with the existing holes.
- Setup note
- Turn off power to the low-voltage circuit, note which wire went to which terminal on the old button, then move the two wires to the new button's screw terminals and mount it with the included screws.
Are you seeking a solid, Wired Push Button in Antique Pewter by Craftmade? Craftmade calls this "Builder's Plus Series" because of the die-cast quality of this doorbell button. Metal is poured into a design mold to create this doorbell in an antique or aged pewter finish. The button is rectangular-shaped and surface-mounted, making the installation a cinch. The doorbell push button is lit by an LED bulb that will last a lifetime, and because the housing is real metal, this push button should last for years.

Where This Antique Pewter Push Button Works Best
The PB4042-AP wired doorbell button is a good choice when the entry needs a sturdier upgrade than a basic plastic button but still calls for a neutral, builder-friendly finish. The antique pewter color pairs well with darker trim, stone, brick, and aged hardware, while the lighted LED button helps visitors spot the button at night.
Install and Compatibility Notes
Use it with a standard low-voltage wired doorbell system. Before ordering, confirm the available mounting surface, the existing button wiring, and whether the rectangular faceplate will cover the old opening. For many replacements, this is a simple decorative wired push button upgrade without changing the indoor chime.

Bought this to replace my old doorbell when I re-stain my wood siding. Not installed yet, but the new button is beautiful and has a heavy weight indicating solid construction.
Q&A
Questions & Answers
Answers from our team for PB4042-AP Wired Push Button in Antique Pewter by Craftmade.
How do I know if a wired push button will fit?
Check the mounting style, outside dimensions, and screw-hole spacing. Surface-mount buttons sit on the wall, while recessed or flush buttons need an opening that matches the button body.
Answered for Wired Buttons
Can I replace only the wired doorbell button?
Yes, if the chime and transformer still work. A wired push button is usually a separate low-voltage switch, so you can replace a worn or dated button without replacing the entire doorbell system.
Answered for Wired Buttons
Why does my lighted wired button stay on?
Most lighted wired buttons use a small lamp or LED that stays lit so the button is visible at night. If the chime buzzes, hums, or does not ring correctly, check transformer and chime compatibility.
Answered for Wired Buttons
Can two apartments share one doorbell button?
They can, but then both chimes ring for every visitor, or one chime rings and the other unit never hears the door. The better setup is one button per unit on a single plate, such as the BC203 or BC268, with each button wired to its own chime. Visitors press the button next to the name they want.
Answered for Wired Buttons
Do I need a separate transformer for each unit?
No. One doorbell transformer can run two or three mechanical chimes as long as its VA rating covers them. A 16V 10VA transformer is marginal for two chimes; a 15VA or 30VA unit gives headroom. If each unit already has its own transformer, keep them: each button on the station is an independent switch and simply goes in series with its own unit's circuit.
Answered for Wired Buttons
Which multi-door button works with an electronic chime?
The unlighted ones. The BC203 and BC208 have plain contacts with no lamp, so they work with mechanical and electronic chimes alike. Lighted buttons pass a small current through the chime all the time to run the lamp, which most electronic chimes do not tolerate, so use the lighted BC268 only with mechanical chimes.
Answered for Wired Buttons
Where do the name cards go?
Each multi-door station has a pocket or window under each button. On the BC203 and BC208 the pocket is an open metal slot that takes a strip of card stock or a printed label, and it covers the mounting screw head. On the BC268 the window is a clear lens with a white card behind it, held by a snap-in carrier on the back. Name cards are not printed for you; most people use a label maker or a printed strip.
