As a middle aged woman on my own can I say thank you for very clear instructions . Very much appreciated with love from the UK

[prycewilkins]

Much appreciated. I’m a trucker and currently on the road but I shared this video to my wife who is installing 2 ring doorbells at her mothers house this weekend. I know without a doubt she can do it with this video as a guide .

The best and most clear instructions on youtube for this exact situation. Thank you!

[jeffmchugh]

Like several people said, you'll need to use a hammer drill. I tried it without the hammer drill setting and the drill just doesn't go deep into the brick. I did some digging and found out that I need to drill with the hammer setting on. That's seems to be a big omission from the tutorial. However, I do appreciate the video!

Dude. Thank you so much for this comprehensive, to the point, simple video!

[Xunder_oathX]

These instructions were much much clearer than Rings lol gonna need to get a drill bit tomorrow. I was struggling so bad today trying to install

[chelsead]

Thank you for the details and life hack! The brick can be intimidating when drilling.

[TheSmartSneakerhead]

This was the easiest step by step instructional video I found. Thank you so much!

[corepersonaltrainer]

Thank you for these precise and understandable instructions! I wish I found you FIRST!

[lindseynsmith]

Thank you!!! I know nothing about drilling. I think I could do it now!

[Filard]

Thanks for this quick and to the point video. 1/4 drill bit looks kind of big though. I don’t have experience with drilling but looks like the anchors were in tight

[Stall]

best video for this to date. thank you hommie.

[daniellehilton]

My wife just got one of these... I used a bit from harbor freight and I was afraid that It was going to catch the insulation on fire from the back side. Thanks for the vid!

I tried using a 1/4 masonry drill bit on brick but the hole was too big; the anchor easily came out. I am practicing on one loose brick I found in my yard. More research is needed to accurately select the right drill bit for the type of brick on my home.

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, this is a lot easier if you already have an existing doorbell on brick. My situation is my existing doorbell is on the narrow wood door frame and I need to feed the doorbell wires through the brick and mount outside on the brick somehow.

I'm a 66 year old woman but I'm no stranger to various home repairs. I got a 1/4" masonry drill bit and I'm using my 20V DeWalt drill but I'm having a heck of a time drilling into the brick on my 20 year old home. Low speed seems to work best and my torque setting is at 15. I'm putting all of my weight behind it but after maybe 10 minutes of drilling the first hole is maybe 1/2" deep. I'll see if I can get my hands on a hammer drill.

My doorbell wiring is not connected to the circuit breaker. How do you shut the power to it in order to not get zapped?

[shanelNel]

Thank you very much. Straight and yo the point.

[peterdavidson]

What kind of drill are you using? My compact 20v doesn’t seem able to get the hole going. Do I need to rent a hammer drill?
