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 DH1805 is best suited to shoppers who want a small wired push button that keeps the look straightforward. The brass housing gives it a traditional finish, while the black center button provides clear contrast without drawing too much attention on the entry trim.

Because it is non-lighted, this model usually makes the most sense where the porch or entry area already has enough light, or where you want to avoid the extra draw of a lamped button. The compact body also helps in tighter replacement situations where a larger plate would overhang the trim or call attention to itself.

Compact Brass Button for Tight Trim

The DH1805 wired push button is a good choice when a small brass faceplate fits the entry better than a larger decorative button. Because it is non-lighted, this small brass doorbell button works best where porch lighting already makes the button easy to see.

Q&A

Questions & Answers

Answers from our team for DH1805 Small Brass Wired Chime Button with Black Center.

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.
