Wires to short

Question

Ok, this is what I'm trying to do. I have a 2nd generation ring doorbell and the wires that come outside of my house for the doorbell are way too short. So unless I want to tear up a big hole in my wall and I have to solder wires, I'm going to have to hook it up wirelessly. My question is is there any kind of adapter or any some sort of extension that I can put so that my current doorbell system would ring on the inside the house? That way I don't have to buy a chime from ring. The current doorbell system is nice and loud and you can hear it through the whole house. I do believe that is a mechanical doorbell not digital. Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Hi @gonzales7727. I'm not sure how short your wires are, but we do have wire extensions in our [Spare Parts Kit](https://ring.com/collections/accessories/products/spare-parts-for-video-doorbell-v2) that might be of help. The wired connections use alligator type clips to attach to your doorbell and wire nut connectors for your existing wires. I hope this information helps!

I have the same issue with short wires and needed to order the extensions to attach to ring.  There were no extensions in the original order.  I am concerned that there will not be enough room when the electrical nuts are used to have the ring lay flat in the wall bracket.  Any suggestions appreciated.
