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.
The DH1400 Series Wired Doorbell Button from Thomas & Betts (Carlon) is a stylish and sophisticated option for those seeking a masculine yet subtle design. The doorbell button boasts a rectangular housing that is available in three different finishes, adding versatility to its aesthetic appeal. The push button at the center of the housing is particularly noteworthy, featuring a white raised light that makes it easy to locate and press, even in low-light conditions. With its elegant design and high functionality, the DH1400 Series Wired Doorbell Button is a great addition to any home or office.
While several doorbell buttons have a more conventional-looking rectangular-shaped housing, the DH1400 Series has a longer and more slender rectangular housing to make it less bulky in design and appearance.
The push button is surface-mounted.

- Faux foil stamp ABS plastic cover in a variety of colors (gold, silver, black)

The button works fine, but I am not sure how it will hold up over time. It fits on the brickmould where my old/previous button was. Button replacement was relatively easy since the distance between the mounting screws matches the old button. I am disappointed the incandescent lamp is not readily replaceable because it is soldered to the terminal board. The lamp in my old/previous button was replaceable. When the lamp eventually burns out I will likely replace the button with an LED model (Craftmade BS6). The old/previous button was replaced because the brass contacts had become oxidized and would not reliably ring the doorbell every time the button was pushed. Unfortunately the contacts in the new button (bare copper strips) are similar in design and will likely oxidize over time.

It does the job.

Nice Looking Doorbell. Great Price. Realize that it is plastic but sturdy and durable enough to survive normal levels of use.

Q&A
Product FAQs & Customer Q&A
Answers from our team for DH1400 Faux Foil Stamped Plastic Wired Button.
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.
