Finally - an installation video where the presenter mentioned the drill bit size. This is the fourth video I've watched to find it. Thank you.

Helpful video, esp the detail of the 3/16 inch bit. It would be helpful to show where in the mounting plate one needs to install the screws. Thank you

Thank you so much! Installed 2 detectors in all of 10 minutes. Simple, straight to the point!

Thank you! I figured it would be easy but I appreciate the straightforward simple to follow tutorial!

Thank you! I feel like an idiot now. I couldn’t figure out why it was so hard to hook the smoke detector onto the base. I went straight to that part of your video and see it’s because I didn’t have the spring loaded mechanism under the battery so it was in the way! OMG. I was ready to chuck this detector across the room. LOL. Thanks again for your clear easy to follow instructions.

I didn't realize the plugs and screws were sitting inside the battery compartment, so I ended up using the plugs and screws from the previous smoke detector of a different brand. Nevertheless, the measurements of the previous smoke detector were not the same as the Kidde, so this video was a lot of help!

Good, simple tutorial. Thanks!

My alarm came with a plastic pin in the same bag as the anchors and screws. I believe it needs to snap into place on the mounting ring? As a lock to prevent the device from disconnection and falling to the floor. But it wasn't reviewed in your video? Btw the red spring loaded arm that extends out by the battery is not a battery removal tool, that is what the yellow strap is for. That arms holds the battery cover open as to show the user that the device needs a battery.

Good job, Mr Clean

Thank you!

Hey Jeff Question How do we install The Ionzation Smoke Alarm With HardWireing how"s That work?

Mine has red and yellow wires. do these need to be connected? I replaced my batteries and the detector itself and it's still randomly beeping. if the wires are not needed, that is the only left that is the issue. If they are not needed then please let me know.

Thanks for the video =)

Try changing the batteries see if that works if not it could be the unit itself.

Excellent no "rocket science" there

You had mentioned to test once a month but my user guide requires it to be tested once a week. The reality of it is I probably test mine once a year.

You don't check for studs before drill?

Since they weigh so little it isn't necessary to screw in to a stud. However if you do use a stud the plastic plugs are not necessary. Screw in directly.

In a bedroom it should be installed on the ceiling near the door. It can also be installed on the wall near the top of the door. If it’s on the wall, Don’t install it near the floor because it will not work. If its in a hallway, you should install it on the ceiling near the middle of the hallway. It can also be installed on the wall near the middle of the hallway

We replaced our hardwired smoke alarms with this brand, in the hard wired version. When we turn the power back on, they all sounded and would not stop. Can you please tell me what is wrong?

NEC says it has to be hardwired

The correct name for the 'plugs' is 'screw anchor'.

Model number?
