Looking for this door bell switch

My door bell switch gave up and I”m looking for a replacement but unable to find one online nor offline.

I found a few similar ones online but they do have have the screw but brackets type.

The one I found here the website got issues signing up and looks unreliable though the switch seems a near close match.

This is there but no way to order it directly.

Found one on justdial but I fear justdial spamming for life so avoiding it.

An electrician has already visited my place and it has been more than a month he is still figuring out a solution and is out of viable options..now say. And yeah I dont reside on some greek lost island but pune city.

Why do you want the same switch? If you buy a bigger awitch you can cut the board to accomodate it.
Or you can just fit a smaller one.

Too and Down screws are 99% of the time same size and spacing

i had once done a mod where a moduler plate was screwed on top of this fiber plate, then i could easily install the moduler switch, i guess it was anchor roma, should be a quick mod.

might fit.

It doesnt ship outside haryana/gurgaon!

Whatever around me available is just the basic anchor switch.

I have a metal door which wont open fully and latch on its outside stopper if I install a larger switch type.

Hence I want this type only. A bit of 19/20 adjustment will do.

you could just replace the plate as well

This.. just get a new base plate and a matching switch

I dont think it’ll cost more than 20-30₹ total

If you can’t find direct replacement, switch to the modular stuff.


You can try changing the back plate to this.

If you remove the cover it will have the screw positions like this. They might not align perfectly, you might have to offset it, such that two diagonal screws goes into what I assume is wood under there.

The dimensions.


Then use this modular switch.


You can also use this 2M version for back plate.

And use this indicator to fill the other space. OR just this one alone, which is single wider unit with built in indicator, takes space equivalent of two 1M switches.

Ultimately becomes something like this.

This sounds interesting. Wont mind ordering from this site but only if they are reliable.

Btw how to screw this modular plate? The screw holes aren’t visible from outside. Pardon me but I have never worked on modular switches/sockets yet as most of us have old home so very well versed with the usual screw thing.

Can I install it on my existing plate ding a jugaad or if I need to to remove the existing plate then how to go about it.

and @superczar The electronic shops around my zone dont have them, doesn’t entertain nor suggest anything like this. They say I have to visit the main electronics market which again is faraway from my place.

Hence here exploring online options.

**Forgot to mention, an electrician visited my place and it has been a month he is still figuring out a solution..now say. And yeah I dont reside on some greek lost island but pune city.

That’s odd..
pretty much all electrical shops will have a matching plate and switch..

Just to be sure nothing is lost in translation, this is what I am referring to… This is a 2 module example ..

PS: given you are in Pune, literally any neighborhood hardware shop will have this..
If you can’t find it, let me know and I can help with a porter pickup

Yes I was already browsing it on AZ. If I find a set of the late cum bell switch I wouldn’t mind ordering one.
