It is best to opt for a weatherproof model of doorbell that will not be damaged by rain or snow. The switches for most models of doorbells come with holes at the back to make installation easy. Measure the switch and holes and use an electric drill to mount the switch on your door or wall. Alternatively, apply a strong binding glue to the back of the switch and apply it firmly to the desired surface. Wipe the surface you are attaching the switch to with a clean, damp cloth before the installation. Ideally, the chime box should be mounted somewhere at the center of your home to ensure that everyone hears it. Pick a room that is relatively equal in distance from all the other rooms in your home. Choose a room that you do not usually close the doors to make sure that the sound will carry. For instance, you might install the chime box in your living room or dining room. Most wireless chime boxes will take D batteries. Open the unit and put the batteries in as indicated, them close the back panel securely. Choose a spot in your home where you want the sound to come from and attach the box the wall with screws. Most chime boxes will have mounting holes on the back.
