Let me start by saying this mount solved a major headache for me as a renter. No drilling? Sign me up! The installation was laughably easy—just adjust the clip to my door’s thickness (mine was 1.8 inches) and pop in my Ring Doorbell 3. The metal/ABS construction feels sturdy, and that hidden security screw actually gives me peace of mind when I’m away.

The GOOD:
- That matte black finish? Chef’s kiss. Blends perfectly with my apartment door.
- Zero tools needed—I installed it during a coffee break while holding my latte.
- Holds the doorbell snugly with those included rubber cushions (no rattling during windy days).
- Video quality remains crisp through the case—no distortion on my 1080p feed.

The NOT-SO-GOOD:
- Dealbreaker alert: Motion detection completely dies when the doorbell’s in the case. I tried carving out sensor areas with a Dremel (don’t judge) but still got zero alerts. Major bummer.
- My neighbor learned the hard way—won’t work on storm doors or metal security doors.
- The adjustment knob scratched my landlord’s cheap paint when I over-tightened it (oops).

Real-talk verdict: If you NEED motion alerts, keep looking. But for renters who just want theft protection and live-view access? This is golden—just know its limitations. I docked one star for the sensor issue but still recommend it cautiously.
