Brick Face Extension Engineered for the First Alert VX1

Brick Face Extension — When Your Doorbell Sits Behind the Brick Face
Brick Face Extension is the right pick when your doorbell would otherwise sit RECESSED behind the brick face (your trim is set back from the brick, so the doorbell ends up looking at the side of a brick). This bracket extends from the trim/recessed mounting point UP TO the brick face so the doorbell sits flush.
