Ring Spare Parts Kit for Ring Video Doorbell 3, Video Doorbell 3 Plus, Video Doorbell 4, Battery Doorbell Plus, Battery Doorbell Pro

Why a spare parts kit is worth having

After a few years of living with Ring doorbells—and moving them between doors, houses, and mounting surfaces—I’ve learned the hard way that the small pieces matter. A missing security screw or a stripped terminal can halt an install. The Ring spare parts kit solves that headache with a compact, well-thought-out bundle of the exact bits you need to mount, upgrade, or refresh a Ring Video Doorbell 3, 3 Plus, 4, Battery Doorbell Plus, or Battery Doorbell Pro.

I used the kit during an upgrade from a Ring Video Doorbell 3 to a Video Doorbell 4 at my front entry, and later to remount a unit on a painted brick surface after a renovation. In both cases, the kit’s mix of screws, the adapter plate, wiring accessories, and the included screwdriver made the work fast and predictable.

What you get

The kit includes:
- A screwdriver that matches Ring’s security screws and standard mounting screws
- A small level for straight, consistent installs
- A charging cable for the Quick-Release Battery Pack
- Security screws and mounting screws
- Wire extenders and wire nuts
- An adapter plate with its own screws
- Terminal screws

The selection covers both battery-powered setups and low-voltage hardwired installs. Nothing feels like an afterthought. The screws are properly sized, the terminal screws seat cleanly in the doorbell base, and the wire extenders are flexible enough to work in tight cavities behind a chime plate.

Installation experience

On the upgrade from the 3 to the 4, the adapter plate saved me from drilling new holes. I removed the old doorbell, aligned the adapter plate over the existing holes, checked it with the included level, and secured it with the adapter screws. The new doorbell then mounted directly to the plate. The fit was exact, with no wobble or awkward gaps.

The screwdriver in the kit is better than the disposable feel you’d expect. The bit engaged the security screw cleanly, and I didn’t experience cam-out when snugging the faceplate. The level is tiny but accurate enough for short runs like a doorbell mount; I still recommend eyeballing against nearby trim for a final sanity check.

On the brick remount, I appreciated having fresh mounting screws with the right head profile. If you’re anchoring into masonry, you’ll still need appropriate anchors; this kit focuses on the doorbell-side hardware. For wood and fiber-cement trim, the included screws performed as expected and seated flush.

Adapter plate: the hero of upgrades

The adapter plate is the star if you’re moving between supported models or reusing previous drill points. It covers old holes cleanly and provides a solid base for the new unit. I’ve seen improvised solutions with filler or oversized plates; this one is purpose-built, which keeps the install looking tidy.

Two practical notes:
- The plate has enough surface area to bridge slightly misaligned holes but it’s not a universal patch for badly drilled locations. If your original mount was way off level or spacing, you may still need to redrill.
- It’s plastic but rigid enough for a secure mount. I didn’t notice any flex once the doorbell was on.

Battery and hardwire touches done right

I wired one install to an existing mechanical chime and left another as battery-only. The kit handled both scenarios without fuss:
- Wire extenders and small wire nuts make short, fragile doorbell wires a non-issue. They’re the right size for low-voltage conductors and kept connections neat inside the recess.
- Terminal screws fit the doorbell’s backplate perfectly, and having spares on hand is a relief if one gets lost in siding or mulch.
- The charging cable is handy if your original went missing. It’s nothing exotic—just a straightforward way to top up the Quick-Release Battery Pack without hunting for the right cable.

In practice, that mix means you can shift from battery to hardwired later (or vice versa) without ordering anything else.

Fit, finish, and compatibility

Everything in the kit matched the tolerances of my Video Doorbell 4. Security screws threaded smoothly and seated the faceplate flush. The mounting screws bit into wood trim without splitting, and the head style plays nicely with the included driver. Nothing rattled, and I didn’t need to over-torque.

Compatibility-wise, this kit is designed for the battery-powered Ring family it lists: Video Doorbell 3, 3 Plus, 4, Battery Doorbell Plus, and Battery Doorbell Pro. If you’re using a different Ring model (particularly wired-only versions), check your model before you assume this is a fit. This isn’t a universal Ring kit; it’s tuned to a specific generation.

Also worth noting: this is not a wedge or corner kit. If you need to angle your doorbell to cover a walkway or avoid false motion triggers from the street, you’ll want Ring’s dedicated wedge/corner accessories. This kit is for replacement and install hardware, not aim adjustments.

Day-to-day value

The real strength of the kit shows up six months later. I’ve pulled the doorbell down to repaint trim, swapped a battery in a hurry, and relocated the unit temporarily during a holiday wiring project. Knowing I have spare security screws and the right screwdriver in a labeled bag has saved more than one late-evening trip to a hardware store.

Home projects rarely go perfectly. Wires are shorter than you remember, screws disappear into groundcover, and the original bit you used years ago is nowhere to be found. This kit anticipates all that and keeps you moving with OEM-fit parts.

Where it falls short

• No anchors: If you’re mounting into masonry, stucco, or tile, plan to use your own anchors sized for the included screws (or switch to masonry screws). The kit keeps the focus on doorbell-side hardware.
• Minimal paper instructions: I prefer a quick-start card with an exploded diagram. Ring’s online guides are good, but a one-pager in the bag would make this completely foolproof.
• Not a cosmetic refresh: The kit doesn’t include a new faceplate. If your faceplate is scratched or missing, you’ll need to source that separately.
• Model scope: It’s tailored to a specific Ring generation. That’s a plus for fit, but make sure your doorbell matches the supported list.

None of these are deal-breakers; they’re just boundaries to be aware of so you don’t expect the kit to solve unrelated problems.

Price and value

For a modest cost, the kit is effectively an insurance policy that keeps your doorbell from turning into a half-finished project. You’re buying confidence: the right driver, the exact screws, wiring bits that fit, and a plate that bridges the old to the new. Compared with piecing together parts, this is faster, cleaner, and often cheaper after you factor in the inevitable mismatches when you try to DIY it from a hardware aisle.

Who will appreciate it most

• Renters and movers who plan to take their doorbell with them and want to leave a clean surface behind
• Upgraders moving from Ring Video Doorbell 3 or 3 Plus to a newer battery model
• Anyone who’s misplaced screws, stripped terminals, or inherited a Ring without its original parts
• DIYers who want to hardwire later without buying a second set of accessories

If your existing install is pristine and you’ve never lost a screw, you can skip it. Everyone else will likely save time.

Recommendation

I recommend the Ring spare parts kit for owners of the Video Doorbell 3, 3 Plus, 4, Battery Doorbell Plus, and Battery Doorbell Pro who are upgrading, moving, or simply missing pieces. In my installs, the adapter plate eliminated new drilling, the wiring accessories handled short or brittle doorbell leads, and the included screwdriver and security hardware ensured a snug, trouble-free finish. It’s not a universal Ring catch-all and it won’t replace wedges, anchors, or faceplates, but as a purpose-built set of the essentials, it does exactly what it should—and saves you from the small headaches that derail a simple job.
