Review on Enhanced Adjustable (-45° to +45°) Side-to-Side Angle Mount for Ring Video Doorbell 2 - Compatible with Ring 3 and Ring 4 (Doorbell NOT Included) by Don Wilson

This baby works, and it’s the only solution I’ve found for narrow-trim doorways and installing Ring’s enormous video doorbells. In my situation, I wanted to put it over my existing doorbell and use the wires. The normal Ring bracket just wouldn’t fit. I thought about only using battery power, but the stone veneer around my doorway would have been difficult to work with, and I wasn’t about to mount this thing on my door.My doorway trim gave me about 1.8 inches of real estate to work with. As an additional complication, part of the trim bulges up and isn’t flat. While this bracket wasn’t small enough to fit only on the flat portion of the trim, it was still small enough for me to install well within the 1.8 inches and account for angled screws due to the bulged portion of the trim. I was then able to feed the wires through the bracket, connect the wires to my Ring doorbell, and install Ring’s bracket on top of it. Worked like a charm.A couple notes:1) Some people have mentioned being unable to tighten the screw that controls the bracket’s ability to angle the doorbell side-to-side. Because they can’t tighten it, the doorbell moves easily after they get it at the desired angle. This is because the nut that holds the tightening screw in place spins when they try to tighten the screw. You can fix this by ensuring the nut doesn’t spin/move while tightening. To do so, you could use needle-nose pliers to hold the nut, or the box-end of a combination wrench. I believe I used an 8mm wrench to hold the nut in place while tightening, and now it’s tight.2) The big bracket that Ring provides you, that you will eventually screw into this bracket, has a magnet on it (at least, mine does). This magnet supposedly helps hold the doorbell in place while you screw the doorbell into Ring’s bracket. Overall, the magnet is unnecessary, and in my case the magnet kept messing up the placement of the bracket since the magnet would move where Ring’s bracket wanted to sit (this bracket is metal). You can easily pop the magnet out of Ring’s bracket and throw it away. It is held by some adhesive, so you’ll have to pop it out with the flat-head wrench or something similar.3) The rubber grommet to help cover exposed wires is a nice touch, but doesn’t really fit too well and isn’t very flexible, so it’s hard to work with. If your door area is covered, I wouldn’t worry too much about the wires, and you can always cover any small wire holes with electrical tape. I was able to make the rubber grommet work by cutting off the end of one side.
