Some answers say the bell assembly is hung ON the door, others say ABOVE the door. Which is it? Thank you.

I hung mine on the door so when opening the door, it shakes the bell and makes it ring....seems to work fine!

You can mount it either way. If you mount it ABOVE the door, the door will smack the bell. If you mount it ON the door, the door movement will cause the bell to bounce. The metal band is really more like a spring. We had to mount ours on the door then bend the band upward a bit so it would be more sensitive. It works very well once you tweak it to your particular needs.

It probably doesn't matter. In an instance where it would not be feasible to mount on the door frame or wall where the door would strike the bell, door mounting would work because the arm is made of spring steel and will shake the bell when the door is opened.

We hung our bell on the door in Little Shop of Horrors, so that it would shake when the door opened. But some bells are made to mount above the door on the wall so that when the door opens it knocks against the bell. I don't think it matters and this one is very sturdy and would stand up very well to either scenario.

The hook on top allows it to hang either way, where and how it hangs depends on shelf layout and size. We sit it on it's base on the tray or rack and angle it to catch the oven light or hang it on the rack facing the oven door.

The hanging bracket system is different. It is a separate piece that you line up on the studs, then the until slides down on top of it.

Hi, They are showing the door open on the photograph. It's a weird photo and in no way representative of the way the unit looks in real life. I have one of these and an extremely happy so far. We have had it since March. Good luck!

There us a piece that goes under the door. Great looking door stop. We love it.

it is over the door and you have the option of screwing it to the door also. I hung it on the door and used Command metal hooks No. 17067-VP to fasten it on the sides to keep it from moving.

We put ours beside the door, just right into the wall, making sure it touched the door and rang when the door was open. My office-mate put it up. It turned out to be a little loud for our purposes, because our door opens into a hallway and there are classes in session right down the hall. We put a couple pieces of tape inside the bell where the clanger would hit and it muffled the sound just enough!

Hello. What do you mean from the top? The part of the cabinet that holds the light bulbs is the horizontal piece above the doors. It is all one piece.

I am sure it could be painted to match and hide it that way. I had a caregiver for my wife come past the screen door where the door bell was and said she couldn't find it. I is outside the screen, sometimes I wonder.

This bell is brass and the clapper so it is a loud sound depending on how the door is opened or closed. I have an extra screw cap on it as the nut can work itself off the bolt..And I then have the nut that it came with screwed on loosely( not butted up tight). It creates a good 'rocking' action that makes the bell sound off at the least motion. Love this bell..

Not sure what you mean? Note hook on top of dome - this is how it hangs from whatever you use, pole, shepherds hook, etc.

Hangs over the top of the door. Very sturdy. I have 8 suits and an overcoat on it.

The door bell is part of the peep hole and therefor cannot be placed separately.

Hey, tikmol! I would use Velcro since it makes the job much easier. Also, the door bell comes with screws but didn't have any holes to put them through on the bell. Confusing, but Velcro works so well that I didn't really care.

The doorbell is actually 3 inches tall. Did someone measure the packaging? Who knows. I like my doorbell though.

We actually did hang it on the inside of the door. You cannot hang it so it closes where you do not see contents. Mine is on the inside of the door and you see the contents when you open the door. The hardware it came with worked for us this way too. Good luck if you find a way to hang it inside and not see contents. I hope this helped some.

It's battery operated or you can wire it into your current door bell. We are using it with the batteries. It works great and we have not had any problems with it.
