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 BS8-BZ is a lighted, surface-mount wired doorbell button from Craftmade with a rectangular, beveled face in a bronze finish. It suits a button replacement on a working wired doorbell system, especially where the entry already has darker metal hardware.
It mounts on the surface of the trim or wall rather than being recessed, and its mounting holes are 2 in apart. Turn off power to the low-voltage doorbell circuit before swapping out the old button.
Specifications
- Finish: bronze
- Mount: surface
- Shape: rectangular with beveled edges
- Lighted: LED
- Size: 2-7/8 in tall, 5/8 in deep
- Mounting hole distance: 2 in
- Brand: Craftmade; warranty 1 year
The BS8-BZ is a straightforward decorative upgrade for anyone replacing an older wired doorbell button with something that looks more intentional on the entry trim. The rectangular face stays simple, but the beveled edges and bronze finish give it enough detail to work well with darker hardware and traditional exterior finishes.
This is a surface-mount lighted button, so it is usually easier to fit than a recessed plate when you want a quick replacement. The LED illumination helps visitors locate the button in lower light, and the bronze tone works especially well where black, oil-rubbed, or darker metal accents are already part of the door hardware.

It’s not flush mounted as it still needs a hole for the back of the button but I got it to work misleading information

Q&A
Questions & Answers
Answers from our team for BS8-BZ Craftmade Surface Mount Doorbell in Bronze Finish.
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.
