This was exactly what we had been looking for. Installing one of these video door bells on a house with siding can be difficult. They're either crooked or strange, but this one fits flush and looks fantastic. Several people have inquired as to where we purchased it or who we hired to install it professionally. This product is of excellent quality, is simple to install, and looks fantastic. It comes highly recommended!.
The backers are of a high standard - It's well-made and substantial. This review is more of a cautionary note for people who need them to back up light fixtures that are already in place. This product will not work if you already have light fixtures installed and the mounting bracket assembly's center pipe does not extend to the exact right spot relative to the siding lap. The backer has a hole in the middle of it. Every light we tried to use one on in our case had the siding lap set just a little too high or low in order to thread the back over the mounting pipe and seat it against the siding lap. It was just a hiccup for us, but it's possible that it happened to others as well. On a couple of them, we might try expanding the hole or drilling a new one to see if we can get enough play to get them up and seated without exposing the original punch out. When I went back through the reviews, I noticed that many of the high ratings were given to people who used them for fixtures with more flexibility behind the wall. Sensors, solar lights, and other similar devices should work fine with these mounting plates, and they look nice and are of good quality, as I previously stated. If you need them for hardwired fixtures with a heavier mounting bracket assembly, be aware that they are more expensive.
Installing a Ring doorbell camera on vinyl siding is a breeze.
It's either white or cream in color, and it doesn't go with my ten-year-old daughter's outfit. White siding that is over a year old. There are also gaps at the top and middle of the siding (8" single siding). I haven't installed it yet, and the lamp screws may pull it in better than simply pressing it against the siding, but I don't think I'll be able to eliminate these gaps, so they'll have to be siliconed. On the front of this block, there are scratches and smudge marks (indicating that it is not scratch resistant). I'm still undecided about whether or not to keep this. br>What a waste of money!.
This plate eventually functioned as needed to mount a standard light fixture on siding without having to cut out for the box, but it was a difficult task. Because the interior is completely hollow, the plate's face deflected inwards towards the building's wall. To keep the plate flat, it needed some help from behind. Also, expect to spend some time looking for longer light fixture mounting screws. The originals were about 3/16" too short due to the thickness of the mounting plate; after some fabrication, they worked, but I never managed to get the mounting plate face completely flat. Gaps in the fixture base on the sides had to be filled with silicone.
We were able to as a result. This is a work of pure genius. We were able to install our Ring doorbell without having to drill or cut into our siding because of it. Everything went smoothly. br>br>It was docked a star because it arrived scuffed and with some paint chips.
When a storm door's safety chain was broken by a strong wind, an exterior light was sheared off. I tried a slew of different fixes to get it to work again. Glue a light to the siding and use a lot of silicon sealant. Wasps continued to build nests behind the light fixture despite the fact that nothing worked. Cutting a large section of the siding away to make a box for light fixtures was suggested by an electrician. When I had a guy come out to look at it, he told me to go to Amazon and look for a product that would address this. The mounting block was a perfect fit for the contours of my siding, and all it took was a thin bead of silicon to fill in the gaps. It was well-supported by the light fixture. I've had it up for about a month and have had no problems.
In my opinion, this is purely cosmetic and serves no purpose. br>At the time I bought it, the description said there were two interlocking pieces that could help with the light installation. This is just a decorative plate that fits over the siding's lip.
