Choosing the Right Wired Push Button or Wireless Doorbell Button​

Wired push buttons - these typically connect to the doorbell transformer.   With battery powered wired doorbells you would connect the button directly to the chime.  Do not use lighted buttons with battery powered chimes.  For lighted buttons, use a wired transformer.

Doorbell Replacement Button

Most wired doorbell buttons have a circular center push and are usually easy to replace with a lighted doorbell center push or a non-lighted doorbell button replacement button. 1800doorbell.com carries a couple of different styles available in different finishes. There are white doorbell replacement buttons (lighted and non-lighted available) finished with a silver or brass ring around the white button.

Other models have a metallic finish in the middle button (rather than white) and feature a LED halo that surrounds the center button.
