Ring Spare Parts Kit for Ring Wired Doorbell Plus

I keep a small bin of “doorbell odds and ends” in my garage—wire nuts, spare screws, bits I’m sure I’ll need someday. The Ring spare parts kit manages to replace most of that bin for one specific job: installing or refreshing a Ring Wired Doorbell Plus (also known as Video Doorbell Pro). After using the kit on two installs—one new, one troubleshooting an existing system—here’s how it actually fares.

What you get and why it matters

The kit is a tidy, purpose-built bundle. Inside, I found:
- A compact screwdriver handle with a reversible bit and a small drill bit for pilot holes
- A Pro Power Kit module for the indoor chime
- Three mounting screws and three wall anchors
- Two terminal screws for the doorbell backplate
- One security screw
- Two wire nuts
- Two stickers

Nothing here is glamorous, but that’s the point. If you’ve misplaced the original hardware or you’re moving the doorbell to a new location, this covers the essentials without a run to the hardware store. The inclusion of the Pro Power Kit is the headline: it’s the piece that stabilizes power delivery and keeps the doorbell happy with a mechanical chime.

Setup: straightforward, if you follow the app

My first use was a fresh install on brick. I shut power off at the breaker, used the included drill bit to start pilot holes, and set the backplate with the supplied anchors and screws. The drill bit is fine for pilot work in softer masonry and wood; for harder brick or stucco, you’ll want a dedicated masonry bit. The driver handle is small but grippy enough for the job, and the bit fits the Ring screws properly. I appreciated that the security screw and bit matched cleanly—no cam-out, no stripped heads.

Wiring the doorbell itself is as simple as transferring the two doorbell wires to the backplate terminals. The included terminal screws are a lifesaver if yours have gone missing. The two wire nuts are a welcome extra for repairing or extending short leads.

The second job was a problem-solver: a home with intermittent chime behavior and the occasional “phantom ring.” Swapping in the new Pro Power Kit at the chime took a few minutes, guided by the Ring app’s step-by-step. That single change stabilized the system. If your Pro is acting up and you’ve ruled out transformer issues, a fresh Pro Power Kit is a sensible next step.

Build quality and design

This is a parts kit, not heirloom gear. The driver handle is basic plastic, the drill bit is serviceable, and the screws/anchors are the usual zinc and nylon. That said, the tolerances are right where they need to be. Threads were clean, the wall anchors didn’t mush out, and the security screw didn’t deform. The Pro Power Kit casing feels solid enough and mounts neatly inside most chime housings.

The stickers are an afterthought but useful. One is intended to label the chime wiring (helpful for the next homeowner or the next you). The other is for notice—small, unobtrusive, and optional.

Compatibility: read this before you buy

This kit is only for the wired model known as Ring Wired Doorbell Plus or Video Doorbell Pro. It is not a universal Ring kit. If you own a battery-powered Ring, a Pro 2, or another Ring variant, this isn’t the right bundle. The included Pro Power Kit and the hardware are tailored to the Pro’s wiring and mounting. Before you add to cart, check your model name in the Ring app or on the device label.

Also note what’s not included: there’s no transformer in the box. If your existing transformer is underpowered or failing, this kit won’t fix that by itself. The Pro generally wants a compatible doorbell transformer capable of supplying sufficient voltage and VA; if you’re seeing low-voltage warnings in the app or your chime is weak even after installing the Pro Power Kit, inspect or upgrade the transformer.

Performance and reliability

From a parts kit, reliability boils down to two things: will the fasteners hold, and will the power module do its job? On both counts, I was satisfied. The mechanical connection was solid into brick and wood, and the security screw keeps the faceplate snug. More importantly, the Pro Power Kit restored stable operation where the old module had clearly degraded. After swap-in, the system settled into a predictable rhythm—no false rings, no random chime clicks, consistent device health.

This mirrors my general experience with older Pro installs: the Pro Power Kit can be the weak link over time. If your Pro is otherwise healthy, a fresh module often breathes new life into an ailing setup without rewiring the entire doorbell circuit.

What could be better

A few nits:
- The driver is adequate but tiny; if you have a full screwdriver, use it for leverage.
- The included drill bit is generic. For tough masonry, plan on your own bit and hammer drill.
- Three anchors is just enough—no real buffer for mistakes.
- There’s no angle wedge or decorative faceplate; this is strictly functional hardware.
- Clearer labeling on the Pro Power Kit for chime types would be helpful, though the app makes up for it with visuals.

None of these are deal-breakers, but they’re worth noting if you’re expecting a more comprehensive mounting kit.

Who benefits most

• Movers who left their original hardware behind
• Anyone troubleshooting an unstable Pro install, especially chime/phantom ring issues
• DIYers who prefer an all-in-one pack instead of piecing together screws, nuts, and bits

If you’re starting from scratch and know you’ll need wedges, corner kits, or a transformer upgrade, you’ll still need additional parts beyond this box.

Practical tips from the install

• Kill power at the breaker, not just the chime switch. Verify with a non-contact tester if you have one.
• Take clear photos of your chime wiring before you start. If you need to revert, you’ll be glad you did.
• Check transformer specs before you blame the doorbell. An underpowered transformer can masquerade as many problems.
• Don’t overtighten the security screw. Snug is enough; overtightening can crack the faceplate.
• If your exterior surface is uneven, add a small bead of exterior-grade caulk behind the backplate to reduce vibration and moisture ingress.

Value

There’s a quiet satisfaction in opening one box and having exactly what you need for this specific job. You can source most of these items individually, but the time spent hunting for the right terminal screws and a compatible security bit isn’t worth the marginal savings for me. The Pro Power Kit inclusion is the real value driver; it’s the part that’s inconvenient to find alone and the most likely to fix power-related quirks.

Final take

The Ring spare parts kit is unglamorous in the best way: it’s the right set of parts, in the right sizes, for a single, well-understood task. The hardware works as expected, the Pro Power Kit does what it’s supposed to, and the overall experience is simple if you follow the app’s wiring prompts. It won’t paper over a bad transformer, and it doesn’t pretend to fit every Ring model. But for the Ring Wired Doorbell Plus, it’s a tidy, competent solution.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit if you own a Ring Wired Doorbell Plus and you’re either reinstalling without the original hardware or chasing chime/phantom ring issues. It’s a time-saver, it restores missing essentials, and the included power module can resolve common power stability problems. If you have a different Ring model or you already know your transformer is the culprit, skip this and buy for your specific situation.
