I've emailed multiple times with no response. I need the back mounting plate that has the terminals for the wires.

Mini Lock Screw Does Not Arrive

I was interested to see the first comment.  When I attempted to install the Simplisafe video doorbell, I had to put it on and take it off a few times in the process of trying to get it to work with my digital chime (I got a Simplisafe kit for that, but the kit didn't work.  I eventually bought a traditional chime doorbell for my Simplisafe video doorbell, and all is working now).  Anyway, in the process of putting on and taking off the video doorbell, I stripped the "mini lock screw" that goes in the bottom.  I have now ordered the mini lock screw twice, and on two occasions I have been told that the part is on its way.  I have yet to receive either order.  There is a disconnect somewhere for ordering this part.  The Simplisafe personnel apparently see it as a part that can be ordered, but the part does not ship or arrive.

What size screw does it take? I tried a 4-40 but it didn't quite fit. Is it an M3 size?

I ran into the same issue, stripping out the screw head.  I requested a replacement before Christmas, and did eventually get a tracking number.  Problem is the package got put on hold at a post office in Charlo, MT "at customer request".  I live in MO, and definitely did not request it be held anywhere. Looked again today and USPS has sent it back.  I put in another request this afternoon.  We'll see what support has to say.

You may see security set screws also referred to as "grub screws", FYI.

I reached out to customer support. They do not provide replacement safety screws, which contradicts the admins post. I asked for the dimensions and they could not provide that either. They told me that I need to take the camera off and go to a hardware store and find a replacement safety screw myself. Very inconvenient and not helpful at all.
