Swivel Mount Adapter: Narrow Baseplate + 1/2" Extension (Fits 3/4" Trim)
Add-On Baseplate for Adjustable Swivel Mounts
This is an **ADD-ON** part designed to work with our standard Adjustable Swivel Mounts (both 0-35° and 15-90° versions that use the standard ~1.8" wide base attachment).
Purpose: It allows installation on narrow trim (3/4" wide or more) AND adds a specific amount of forward extension.
Swivel Mount is NOT included - this listing is only for the narrow baseplate adapter piece.
Mount Your Swivel Mount on Narrow Trim & Add 7/8" Depth!
Is your door trim too narrow (but at least 3/4" wide) for our standard adjustable swivel mount base? This specialized baseplate adapter provides a slim 3/4" wide footprint to securely mount onto those narrow surfaces.
Additionally, this specific version provides a total of 7/8 inches of forward extension (1/2" straight + 3/8" transition) from the wall, useful for clearing shallow obstacles or achieving a specific projection.
Adapter Plate Dimensions
- Wall Contact Width: 3/4 inches (Requires trim/surface width of >= 3/4").
- Forward Extension (Straight Part): 1/2 inch.
- Transition Section Depth: Adds an additional 3/8 inch depth.
- Total Depth Added by THIS Adapter: 7/8 inch (1/2" + 3/8").
- Width at Swivel Mount Interface: Widens to 1.8 inches to match standard swivel base.
- Mounting Hole Spacing: 2-5/8 inches (center-to-center, standard - customizable on request).
Resulting Doorbell Position (Approximate)
When this 7/8" deep adapter plate is combined with one of our standard Adjustable Swivel Mounts, the final position of your doorbell will be approximately:
- Back of Doorbell Body: ~3-3/8 inches away from the wall/trim surface.
- Front Face of Doorbell: ~4-3/8 inches away from the wall/trim surface (assuming ~1" doorbell thickness).
(These are estimates; actual position depends on the specific swivel mount and doorbell model used.)
