4 different types and lengths of screws included with my Ring Doorbell 2. Which screws are for what? How do I know? You don’t and Ring doesn’t know either.
No mention of what’s included in the box - or what SHOULD be included in the box - so I don’t know if I got the proper contents. Ring doesn’t want you to know what should be in the box, and Ring doesn’t know what should be in the box.
What do the security screws look like? There is no photo of them. Are they the same as the other small screws? I don’t know. Ring doesn’t want me to know.
What is the mounting bracket? It seems that one was not included in my box. There is no photo of the mounting bracket in the literature. There is no list of package contents in the literature. Ring doesn’t want me to know what the mounting bracket is.
In sum, your product descriptions are HORRENDOUS. There is no description of what the products are, what is included with them, and what is included in the box, how to install it, etc… For example, there is no mention in the literature of a flat mounting bracket.
Hi @Venice. Everything that is needed to install your Doorbell 2 should be included in the box. There may be extra tools or parts you find you don’t need to use for your installation. You can reference our Help Center Article here, which does go over what is included in the box. Additionally, we have some resources on how to install the Doorbell 2 with or without an existing doorbell that may be helpful.
If you’re installing your Doorbell 2 without an existing doorbell circuit, you can reference this article. If you’re installing it with an existing doorbell, you can reference this article. There are videos in both of those articles that detail the installation process as well.

@Venice Thanks for letting me know! It looks like my link broke after posting. I went ahead and fixed it so you should be able to click on the link now. If anything is missing, please give our support team a call at one of the numbers availablehere.
Hi Caitlyn, the link you provided does NOT say what is included in the box.
I did call the phone number and told them about missing parts. Ring told me they are sending me the missing parts, but they have not arrived in over one week.
Since Ring does not tell the customer what is or should be included in the box, it is difficult (sometimes) to determine if Ring provided everything that should be in the box!
Seems like a good product, but it’s weird that Ring doesn’t tell customers what is in the box.

I have the same issue with a Ring 3 doorbell delivered from Amazon last week ?
What should the security screws be like that hold the cover over the battery?
If I put it up now someone could pull the cover off and take out the battery?
Not impressed with not having a picking list, the product looks great but the execution leaves something to be desired, rang the uk number and it directed me here very confusing?
I agree. I need installation instructions. I’ve misplaced the ones in the Ring Doorbell 2 box, but there is absolutely nowhere on the website to find them.
