First time living in Florida, so I'm not sure what materials are used. What are my options? If I install it on the door, what type of drill bit do I need? Thanks for your help.

I moved into a vinyl house in Hawkins recently. I found a vendor on Etsy.com named NearlyNewModels.

He has various mounts for various models of Ring.

It turned out that the vinyl used on my house didn't match anything he has 3D-Printed, so I sent him 4 measurements (he will tell you which 4), and he custom made my mount. It cost about 30 bucks, but was worth it to me.

Let me know if you have further questions.
