Let me start by saying this mount solved my biggest headache as an apartment renter: drilling into walls. The no-drill design is GENIUS—it clamped onto my door frame in under 2 minutes with just a screwdriver. That metal plate they include? Way sturdier than Google’s flimsy original.

The anti-theft feature actually works. I yanked on it from outside (like a determined thief would), and unless you open the door, that Nest doorbell isn’t budging. Bonus: The 45° left/right tilt let me angle it perfectly to catch porch pirates AND my flowerpot where packages hide.

But—big but—check your door gap first! My neighbor’s door had a tighter frame, and this became a glorified paperweight for them. Also, that single screw holding the doorbell? Gets annoying when you recharge every few weeks. Pro tip: Keep the hex key handy.

Material could be beefier too. The metal bracket flexes if you overtighten, making installation feel like threading a needle during an earthquake. And ignore the paper instructions—watch their video instead unless you enjoy Ikea-level frustration.

Verdict? If your door gap is >0.08in and you hate wall holes, this is gold. Just don’t expect tank-level durability.
