How to mount a Doorbell into Hebel?

[DezMaggs]

Hello, 
I've just purchased a new house made from Hebel. I received a video doorbell for my birthday from bunnings. How would I install it? Can I just used the supplied screws and screw into the Hebel or is there something else I need to do? 

Sorry, not the most handy of people!

Hello @DezMaggs 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about mounting your doorbell to Hebel blocks.

I suggest having a quick look at the Hebel Fixing guide. As you are probably aware Hebel blocks are aerated blocks making them lighter than ordinary masonry blocks. This makes it a bit more challenging when mounting things on their surface. For your doorbell I recommend looking at the Ramset 6 x 38mm Universal Anchor - 6 Pack. My best advice is to make sure that the pilot hole for the wall plug is not too big.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
