Doorbell installation on side of door frame.

[Aliciasamara]

Hey all! My house has a stupid doorbell installed on the side of the door frame instead of facing out. Anyone have any ideas on how I could install the nest doorbell so it faces outwards and not at a 90° to my house?

@Aliciasamara 

Could you carefully drill an access hole on the front of your door frame, then pull your doorbell wires through that hole, and putty and paint over the holes on the side of your door frame?

Wasserstein and others sell angled doorbell mounts, but none of them seem to support more than a 45 degree angle.

Hi Emerson,

Unfortunately this didn't completely resolve my question but it looks like there isn't quite a solution. Thanks though!
