Newhouse Hardware CHM1 Door Bell Chime, White

This was a drop in replacement for my old chime. Although this chime was replacing an old chime with a wooden cover, it has a modern look.I purchased a home where apparently the previous owner installed a ring door bell. I never had a ring door bell, but when I started setting up the app, I discovered that the previous installation never used the old doorbell wiring and that the previous owner was just using the ring on wifi and not hardwired so that the battery was not being continuously charged.I thought perhaps he did this because the original doorbell wiring was shorted out or disconnected even though the old doorbells were still attached to the house. When I found the old doorbell transformer in the basement by the breaker box and that it was still giving off 17v, I decided that I should try to reconnect the old door bell system to see if I could get the Ring door bell to work with it and so that it could both charge the ring door bell and be able to ring a physical chime.The old chime was thrown out during renovation because I didn't believed it worked as the previous owner never used it, so I purchased this simple Newhouse Hardware CHM1 Door Bell Chime as a replacement. It was very simple to install and just needed to connect the correct wiring from the front and back door. To my surprise once I hooked it up and did a test ring from the front door, it rang. I was even more surprised when the back doorbell worked as well.The best surprise was when I then connected the front wiring to the Ring doorbell and again it worked, and it was charging the Ring doorbell battery. I was so pleased that everything worked. So even if there is no wifi in the house, the physical chime will still ring with the Ring door bell. It also has a modern look so it goes well with the renovation.

Works as intended. Simple wiring hooked right up to the existing system. Sound quality is louder than the old one and looks similar in style and so far has been a reliable door bell.

Works fine and easy to install. One thing to note is if your are installing this with wireless chime module for doorbell camera be aware that there is not any extra room inside the cover for it to fit. I ran the wires out the top of the cover and taped the module to the side of the cover. Fortunately the chime module and cover are the same shade of white so it is hardly noticeable.

It is nothing fancy. It is easy to wire together and screw on the drywall. It does what it is suppose to do, make a "ding-dong" sound. I took apart the old chime that worked for 8-9 years and remembered which wire goes to which terminal. This one has worked for 4 plus years, and it is an used item sold by Amazon. Nothing more and nothing less. A low cost chime.

Very nice doorbell and transformer and a reasonable price. Easy to setup and works perfectly with Ring Wired Doorbell Pro. Nothing fancy about it, but it rings and works with my Ring Doorbell. Will recommend.

Nice sound, but it started to fail after about 11 months, and after 13 months the chime stopped working and just buzzes. When I opened the cover a black rivet from the innards fell right out. :(We did enjoy it before it broke.

After reading several reviews I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this door chime, but we needed a compact unit. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived (a day late); it's nicely made, and works great. I wasn’t sure that it would work in the vertical position, but it produces loud chimes for both front & rear doors. The styling blends in the room well. It's a good deal for the money. If you're looking for a compact, loud door chime, look no further!

My first doorbell was a Nutone. A few months ago, it started buzzing instead of ringing. I ordered this Newhouse Hardware kit. While installing it, I found that the transformer wire had been installed on the rear switch terminal, which prematurely damaged the chime. I installed this chime and the 2 switches correctly and my doorbell works perfectly! This kit comes with a new transformer, but I didn't need to crawl through the attic to find the location. The instructions for the chime and switches were super easy to follow. This chime is a little smaller, so I had to adjust its position and make new screw holes. The original holes are visible, but a little filler and touch-up paint will solve that. I especially love that my front door switch now illuminates, I didn't have that before!!
