How to Remove a Doorbell

Though removing the doorbell from your door or wall is not a difficult thing, but you need to remove two components: the bell and the button on the outside front door frame.

After you have removed both components, the wires will remain in the wall and door frame. And you need to repair the holes in the wall and door frame after you have removed the button and the bell. Do not be worried about removing the doorbell and anyone can complete this job without prior experience and with no major tools.

   

                   

Things You Need

Screw driver
Electrical tape

Instructions

1. Turn off the electrical breaker which is wired to the doorbell in order to disconnect the electrolytic current. Then go to your doorbell and doorbell button.

2. Remove the cover panel from the bell by pulling it off of the bell’s frame. Use the screwdriver to remove the screws that are securing the frame to the wall. Loosen the wire connections and pull the wires from the connectors.

3. Positive and negative wires from each other on the ground. Then take out the Electrical tape and place the tape around the exposed wires. Push the wires back into the wall. Make sure that the wires are completely covered to avoid fire.

4. Remove the screws that are securing the doorbell button to the outside door frame. Loosen the wire connections and pull the wires from the button. Place electric tape around the tips of each wire as you did for the bell wires, and pushes them back into the wall.

5. A wall patch kit from your local home repair store will have everything that you’ll need to repair the hole left in the wall where the doorbell was. The store should also have a patch kit for the exterior door frame.

Tips & Warnings

Not properly concealing the exposed wires with electric tape will result in a fire once the electricity is turned back on if the wires touch each other.
