Installing a Video Doorbell on a steel sheathed Door
My exterior doors are all Steel Sheathed filled with wood and foam. Will a video doorbell work if mounted on the exterior steel surface?

Hi Chelsea, Thanks for the reply. I am considering buying a hardwired Video Doorbell Pro, are there any sales on right now. Also, I have a number of WiFi range extenders in service right now, will the ring system work with non-ring extenders? Best regards and stay safe. Peter Brixey

C@PocketGopher The Ring devices should definitely work with wifi extenders, and our support team over the phone can always troubleshoot any network settings if you find the connection is still poor after install. The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is not currently on sale on our website [here](https://shop.ring.com/products/video-doorbell-pro?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=1039283235&utm_term=ring%20video%20doorbell%20pro&utm_content=52105318278&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI14jo1uy76gIVchatBh2LyQtWEAAYAiAAEgJ_yPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&?cb=), but you can always shop around at 3rd party retailers to see if you can get a better deal! I believe if you buy from Costco, you get a free year of the Protect Plus Plan, which is worth $100 USD. Hope this helps and you're staying safe too! :)

PThanks Chelsea, We do not have a Costco anywhere that makes membership and round trips worthwhile. However, I did find a Ring - Video Doorbell Pro (satin Nickel) and Chime Pro Bundle 8VR1X8-0ENB (their product number # 38117) on the Monoprice web site. But I am not sure what generation it is. I did not see it mentioned in the specs. or description. [https://www.monoprice.com/product?p\_id=38117](https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38117) Best regards and stay safe, Peter Brixey

C@PocketGopher Awesome! There is only one version of the Ring Video Doorbell Pro, so that should be the same Pro we sell. In addition, that's the Chime Pro 1st Generation, not the 2nd generation, just so you know! :)

PThanks Chelsea, I am looking forward to getting the set. If I need to could I add a second extender on my outdoor lanai so that I will know when someone is at the door? Thanks for all your help and stay safe, Peter Brixey.

Hi @PocketGopher. It's possible it may work, but you'll need to ensure you have a strong connection from your router or a nearby wifi access point. You may also need to get a Chime Pro to help with the interference you will run into. You can learn more about this and the wifi signal strengths in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/217271526-Understanding-RSSI-Values-and-Wireless-Signal-Strength).
