Baldwin BAL-4862.260 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Reserve 4862 arch doorbell button need low voltage wiring, or will it work without power?
The button itself will make the contact either way, but the illumination won't. The 4862's lit button runs off low voltage and is recommended for use with transformers up to 24 volts. If your existing chime system is already on a standard low voltage transformer, you're set; if there's no transformer in the circuit, you get a working button with no night-time illumination.
2) What size is the Baldwin 4862 arch bell button, and will it cover the hole from my old doorbell?
The arch bell button measures 1.60 x 3 inches. That's a compact plate, so it will cover a small button cutout but not a larger rectangular escutcheon left by an oversized older unit. Measure the existing opening against 1.60 x 3 before pulling the old one off.
3) What finishes does the Baldwin Reserve 4862 arch bell button come in so I can match my entry set?
Ten finishes: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 112 Venetian Bronze, 152 Matte Antique Nickel, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome, 481 Dark Bronze, and 492 White Bronze. These are Baldwin's standard finish codes, so if your handleset or knocker carries a 055 or a 112, order the button in the same number and it matches.
4) Do I need to buy mounting screws separately for the Baldwin Reserve 4862 doorbell button?
No. The 4862 ships as a complete set with its mounting hardware included. The fasteners are concealed once it's mounted, so nothing shows on the face of the plate.
5) Is the Baldwin 4862 bell button solid brass or a plated zinc casting?
Brass construction. That matters on an exterior jamb where a plated pot-metal button chalks and pits after a few seasons. The PVD finishes (003, 044, 055, 056) are the ones to look at for the most durable appearance on a sun- or weather-exposed entry.
6) I'm standardizing doorbell buttons across a set of units. Can I order the Baldwin 4862 in one finish across the whole job?
Yes. Model 4862 is a single arch design offered in ten finish codes, so you pick one code and repeat it across every door. Each one arrives as a complete set with mounting hardware, so the installer isn't hunting for screws unit to unit. Illumination on each button depends on a low voltage supply at that opening, recommended up to 24 volts.
7) Is the Baldwin Reserve 4862 a commercial-rated doorbell button or is it for houses?
It's a residential product in Baldwin's Reserve Series. For a single-family entry, a custom home, or a high-end multifamily unit door it's the right kind of part. For a commercial entrance where you need a rated push button tied into an access control or annunciator system, look at a commercial pushbutton instead.
