Is this doorbell really about 4" wide & 6" tall? If so, that would certainly be quite visible. Anyone feel it's too large ater installing?

The bell that rings inside the home is 4" x 6". The push button that mounts outside the door is about 1" x 3". Excellent bell and very appropriate sizing.

The sound unit is 4x6 but is quite nice. It won't cover the old door bell sound unit but I set mine on a shelf and it looks good there. The button unit is much smaller probably 1x3 or 1x4 and it installs easily and works very well with the sound unit.

I didn't think it looked overly large because the button is most visible and it's small. I replaced an old style doorbell from the 50s that was set over stucco with a big hole opening for low voltage wiring. If the doorbell was any smaller, I would have had to purchase stucco patch and touch-up paint. This doorbell was purchased for my 98 yo grandmother (hearing impaired) and she could hear it fine, btw.

Those dimensions are a little bit too large. The actual size is of the door bell button is one inch wide by three inches high. The alarm unit inside your house is closer to the 4 x 6 measurement.

Thanks everyone for your answers, this is very helpful. Looks like Honeywell needs to correct their measurements for the doorbell unit, it's even incorrect on their website. Just couldn't imagine a 4"x6"doorbell! I will go ahead and order both indoor/outdoor units since the reviews are so positive.

We installed this doorbell and it's a normal doorbell size...about 3.5" tall (not home to measure it right now). Great product - we loved it and it worked so much better than the wireless doorbells at the big box stores.

It measures 3/4 inch wide by 4 1/2 inch tall. It is actually quite nice! The one that came with the door bell was blown off by a gust of wind. This is doing really well. It is also pretty!

Mine is installed in a 30inch woodframe doorway but the gate stretches well beyond 36inches. I used 8 inch lag screws that I purchased from Lowe's to mount it inside the door jamb behind the existing door leading to my basement. Should take much more than just kicks to knock it down. Works very well for what I bought it for. Wife is very happy with it.

It is 6.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. Just installed it and it seems to be a nice switch panel.

It will not work in a 4.5 inch space. You should have at least 6 inches to install it.

The unit is about 5" when all the way up. Note it doesn't pop-up on its own. You have to pull it til it locks in the up position. So much for truth in advertizing!

I am not near mine, but I believe it is about 3-4 inches deep when wall mounted.EDIT< Their Website says 2 inches.

Wanted same effect, mounted mine about 4' out, and 2' above top of door, sensor facing the door. worksok, a little slow to turn on sometimes, sometimes goes psychotic and cycles on no motion for long periods.

It can NOT be installed vertically [long side of cover running vertically up & down], because the wooden cover hangs onto the doorbell metal structure via a metal clip that is mounted for horizontal mounting of the wooden cover. I doubt you could move that mounting clip to the short side & mount that way & have the doorbell chime work properly, because there doesn't appear to be any way for the clip to hang securely on the doorbell frame; and I doubt the chime piston would function well if the metal doorbell structure was mounted sideways which would mean the chime piston had to strike sideways instead of vertical. Of course you could call the manufacturer & ask their customer service. We no longer have the install instructions. Perhaps the manufacturer has a "vertical mount" model--I don't know. I will try to post a pic of the mounting clip installed inside the wooden cover.

The mounting Bo's is 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. I have mine on the wall, it is fine, no problem.

it's about 3-4 inches wide. probably 2-3 inches high. I use it just to keep people from walking through my screen door.

I'm not sure, it's been a few months since I installed it. I remember thinking it was smaller than I expected, maybe 3"?

it's long enough. You don't want it too long. Yeah it looks short in the picture but trust me...it's long enough if properly installed.Hope I helped you.Dave C.- NH

I'm not sure what you mean, If you mount your doorbell on the door, it should work. And the ringer are very loud, you can't miss it. I'd give a try, it's only 10 dollars.

Mine just showed up. I wish it were 12', but instead was 10'2.5", for my 10'6" door. So don't plan on much extra, also ends aren't cut square. Now I need to find 4" more of this stuff...

I think the 4" measurement may be overall including the keypad and front panel. Mine fit easily depthwise. unfortunitly my studs were off by about a quarter of an inch and I had to clear some wood to do the install. Not a big deal but added to the complexity. I would suggest not using the screws provided with the unit to secure it to the studs. They are a bit small for my liking.

It's so minimal - you can only see the white two over-door brackets about 3/4 of an inch each (I measured for you) at very top of door - my door is white so it's barely noticeable. In fact, I didn't notice until you asked the question. My door that it's on closes to the main entrance hallway to my home - & again, it's barely noticeable.
