Product Information

Full details

The Trendi Switch 1 Gang Retractive Doorbell Switch is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a sleek, modern, and screwless aesthetic for residential electrical installations. Its primary benefit is the combination of a sophisticated chrome rocker design with reliable, momentary-contact functionality suitable for doorbells, blinds, or similar signaling needs. Note that as a retractive switch, it does not remain in an 'on' position, making it unsuitable for standard lighting control where a latching toggle is required.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for my living room lights?

No, this is a retractive switch. It will only stay 'on' while you are physically holding it down, making it unsuitable for standard light switches.

Does this switch require an earth connection?

No, the Trendi Switch ART-DBOR does not require an earth connection.

What size back box do I need?

This switch is compatible with any standard UK back box with a depth of 25mm or greater.

Are the screws included?

The product features a screwless plate design, which includes the internal fixings needed to mount it to the wall box.

Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?

No, this switch is designed for indoor electrical installations and is not rated for outdoor or wet conditions.

What is the voltage rating?

The switch operates on a standard 220/250V AC power supply.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not trigger the doorbell chime

Verify that the wiring connections to the L1 and COM terminals are secure and that the chime unit itself is receiving power.

Switch rocker feels loose or stuck

Check that the faceplate is properly seated on the backing plate and that no debris is lodged around the rocker mechanism.

Switch does not fit into the wall cavity

Ensure the back box is at least 25mm deep. If the wall cavity is too shallow, a surface mounting box may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern, high-quality chrome rocker aesthetic
  • Screwless plate provides a clean, minimalist look
  • Easy to install in standard 25mm back boxes
  • Sturdy construction compliant with safety standards

Cons

  • Momentary action only; not suitable for latching light switches
  • Surface finish requires careful handling to avoid fingerprints
  • Depth may be tight in shallow back boxes less than 25mm

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the power is disconnected at the mains. The unit fits into any standard UK 25mm back box using the 60.3mm fixing points provided. Wiring is straightforward due to the lack of an earth terminal requirement. For cleaning, use only a soft, dry cloth; do not use abrasive chemicals or sprays as these may damage the chrome finish and the plastic housing. Regular inspection of the terminals should be performed to ensure all connections remain tight over time.
