Ultra Slim Momentary Bell Push featuring British Standard Glass Door Bell Switch available in PC, Glass, or Aluminum Panel.
The DN71317 amounts to a fully UK standard door bell glass switch designed to substitute old-fashioned round plastic bell wires as it features a full-sized 88mm by 86mm glass switch panel. The doorbell glass switch is based on a spring return technology, which means that once the button has been pressed to activate it the low-current circuit gets closed until the doorbell button is released. Unlike ordinary light switches, where the button is pressed manually and left in that position, this doorbell switch can be activated only when pressed. The glass panel of the switch is immediately tactile, providing an incredible user experience on entry as per DN71 series switches that can be found in every part of the house. The product is available in three different panel materials, including PC for mass-production, tempered glass for more upscale entrance designs, and brushed aluminum for more industrial appearance. The switching part consists of a red copper mechanism and a silver alloy point. The choice for middle plate includes steel and plastic. The switch has an IEC certification.
We manufacture glass doorbell switches direct from factory. We provide competitive wholesale prices and OEM branding on every panel material, and provide a 12-year warranty on every product across the DN71 series.
Momentary Glass Bell Push — The Premium Entrance Switch That Matches Your Interior
The doorbell switch made of glass has been designed specifically for the functioning of doorbell circuits. This momentary spring-return mechanism has been designed to convey signals rather than light. The side glass panel gives high quality tactile sensation when touched at the entrance to the building. The dimensions of the doorbell switch (88×86mm) are similar to the ones of light switches by DN71 series existing in the building. The doorbell switch may be made from glass like the switches in the hallway. The contact mechanism made from red copper and silver alloy is perfect for repetitive actions. The steel part of the device secures the panel against the wall. The appliance is certified and rated at 10A/16A.
Matching the DN71 Series — Glass Door Bell Switch in PC, Glass, or Aluminum
The PC glass aluminum doorbell switch is a part of the DN71 series with this being in the same line of products with the same 88×86 mm ultra slim profile and the three top finishes of the panel as seen in DN71 1‑4 gang switches. Now the glass doorbell placed at the entrance can match the color and touch of the other glass switches present in the house as per the same profiles, exactly the same skin touch, and colors. The size of 88×86 mm makes it compatible with the UK universal back boxes. The product is supplied in container level (20GP MOQ) and may be a mix of all three materials: PC, glass, and aluminum. Colors can be White, Gold, Gray and Black which will suit any interior style.

Installing a Glass Door Bell Switch: Wiring, Momentary Action & Back Box Requirements
A practical guide to specifying and wiring a momentary glass bell push switch for residential and commercial doorbell circuits.
Momentary vs Latching — Why the Difference Matters for Glass Door Bell Switches
Momentary glass door bell switch allows the circuit to function only when the button is pushed; once released, a spring makes the circuit open again. This is very different from latching glass switch, which makes a click sound when switched on. A normal glass switch installation will either leave the door bell ringing or prevent it from ringing altogether. The DN71317 is specially designed as a momentary door bell switch with features like a spring mechanism, copper and silver contacts, and unique construction specifically meant for signaling circuits.
Finish Selection — Which Glass Color for Your Entrance?
White glass panel: Classic entrance — the clean surface of glass matches white switches. Gold glass: The entrance of warm premium glass is a different metallic tone for high-end residential buildings. Gray glass: The understated glass provides a neutral touch in modern apartments. Black glass: The bold glass design with dark details is ideal for classy entrances and business spaces. Each of the four colors has gone through the process of tempered glass for the best feeling of touch.
Wiring & Installation
The DN71317 is designed to fit a common 88×86mm British back box. The wiring follows basic doorbell wiring rules, connecting the transformer wire to the common terminal and connecting the chime wire to L1. The momentary glass mechanism does not require a neutral connection. Always isolate the bell transformer circuit at the consumer unit beforehand. For new installations, run a 2‑core cable from the transformer position to the doorbell and then from the doorbell to the chime position.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a glass door bell switch?
A glass doorbell switch is a temporary wall switch, which has got a tempered glass panel that is specifically made to ring a door bell or make a sound. The DN71317 model of the glass door bell switch follows British standards — by pressing on the glass surface, the circuit gets closed and the bell rings, when you release the switch, the circuit is broken again. This door bell switch is a replacement for the small round plastic buttons.
Can I use a standard glass light switch as a doorbell?
No. The standard glass switch is quite different from a latching switch in that the latching switch holds in position after it is pressed. If a latching switch is used for the doorbell circuit, the bell will either ring continuously or not at all. The doorbell circuit needs a momentary glass type switch such as a DN71317 switch, which allows the circuit to close only while pressed and is returned to its original settings as soon as the pressure is released. While both type of switches may look identical, they are not interchangeable.
Does this glass doorbell switch require a neutral wire?
The DN71317 momentary glass bell push does not, in fact, require a neutral connection. It is simply a two-wire device which consists of one wire connected from the doorbell transformer to the common terminal and a second wire connected from L1 to the bell/chime. The circuit is complete only when the glass rocker is pressed.
What panel materials is this glass door bell switch available in?
The DN71317 may be selected in three desirable panel surface finishes: polycarbonate (with high-strength polycarbonate for volume manufacturing), tempered glass (for glossy and impression-resisting skin feel), and brushed aluminum (having metallic surface appeal for modern business environment). Each of the finishes in the three options share the same ultra-slim size of 88×86mm and comes with a warranty of 12 years.
