Let me start by saying – this mount saved my security deposit! As someone who’s gone through THREE different solutions for my Blink doorbell in a rental, this no-drill bracket finally nailed it. The metal clamp feels surprisingly sturdy when locked – I actually tried yanking it from outside (for science!) and couldn’t budge it.
The real MVP here is the open-frame design. My last holder blocked the motion sensor so badly that my camera thought night time was permanent. With this mount? Crystal clear detection even when Amazon leaves packages at weird angles. The two-way audio also doesn’t sound like you’re talking through a tin can anymore.
Installation took me exactly 4 minutes (yes, I timed it). The adjustable clamp fits doors between 1.4-2.3 inches thick – but measure TWICE because my neighbor’s metal security door was a no-go. Pro tip: Keep your original Blink backplate handy – this mounts onto that, not directly on the door.
Now the not-so-great: The adhesive situation is hit or miss. Mine arrived perfectly, but some buyers report sticky pads arriving glued to the instructions (yikes). Also, while it claims ‘no adhesive needed,’ I added some removable Command strips for extra peace of mind during windy days.
For $15? Absolute game-changer if you rent. Just check your door thickness and swing direction first – this only works on inward-opening doors. No more worrying about theft or drill-happy landlords!
