A no-drill doorbell mount that attaches to the door itself and not to the structure of the building. Although they come in various shapes and sizes to fit different styles of video doorbells, the basic design is the same.<\/p>\n<p>The mounts are made of metal in a squared-off U shape. One side of the U features a metal box to house the doorbell unit, and the other side of the U has a tension screw to secure the assembly to the door.<\/p>\n<p>You simply charge your video doorbell, put it in the metal box, slide the whole assembly onto the edge of your open door until the base of the U is snug against the door, and then tighten the tension screw down to prevent it from sliding.<\/p>\n<p>The design is great for renters who want to avoid damaging their apartment or rental home, but at the same time, it\u2019s great for anybody who doesn\u2019t want to modify the exterior of their home for whatever reason. Live in a historic home and don\u2019t want to mess with the old wiring or drill holes in the beautiful woodwork or stone around your door? This solution is great for you too.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selecting_a_No-Drill_Doorbell_Mount\"><\/span>Selecting a No-Drill Doorbell Mount<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The design of no-drill doorbell mounts is pretty simple. As long as there aren\u2019t any glaring manufacturing deficiencies like sharp edges, poor welds or joints, or missized doorbell mounting chambers, there aren\u2019t really that many differences between the various models, though a few of them do stand out.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular models on the market is the Doorbell Boa. It was early to market, it\u2019s sturdily designed, and a few years ago it went viral on TikTok which helped moved a bajillion and one units.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Doorbell-Anti-Theft-Video-Door-Mount\/dp\/B08GG9NVSM?tag=hotoge-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31OxUqDbqML._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"150px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for Doorbell Boa\" aria-label=\"Shop for Doorbell Boa\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Doorbell-Anti-Theft-Video-Door-Mount\/dp\/B08GG9NVSM?tag=hotoge-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Doorbell_Boa\"><\/span>Doorbell Boa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">This sturdy video doorbell mount is generously sized and nearly universal for the various video doorbells on the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a solidly constructed mount that\u2019s compatible with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-new-Ring-Video-Doorbell-release\/dp\/B08W74J4CH\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Ring doorbells<\/a> generation 1 through 4 (but not the Pro models), <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Arlo-AVD2001-100NAS-Essential-Doorbell-Wire-Free\/dp\/B08HRNG8CR\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Arlo<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blink-Video-Doorbell\/dp\/B08SG2MS3V\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Blink<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/eufy-Security-Battery-Powered-Detection-Self-Installation\/dp\/B081C4JN51\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Eufy<\/a>, and more, it\u2019s a solid pick.
