Newhouse Hardware MCHBV Wireless Mechanical Two-Note Chime and Door Button with Built-in Viewer, One Size, White/Brass

Nice works like it should

Works well and is loud. I was a bit disappointed to find that it’s entirely made of plastic. Feels kind of cheap but overall it seems ok and functions as intended

The Newhouse mechanical door chime was a perfect replacement for my 27 year old chime. It looks great and sounds great. This is a quality piece of hardware. Can’t beat it for the price.

Nice and easy to install. I would recommend it.

This replaced an other one ( same) was going to drill new holes in door. Not going to work for me, also a very low chime. I don't recommend.

I opened the box and saw how the device was well protected and I was confident itnwould work fine. I removed the old (20+ years) ringer cleaned the two ports of accumulated dust and installed the new device. It lined up perfectly; no need to drill new holes; shortened the turn shaft; screwed the devive in place and it works Perfectly!

The product is a perfect replacement in every way except there is no cutout in the front butto assebly for the peep hole lens to go through.

We have a 1980’s condo that has an metal entry door with a mechanical (non-wired) doorbell mounted on the door right below the glass peephole. So installation was fairly easy but I needed to spend $10 and get a 1-in Bi-Metal Arbored Hole Saw which I picked up from Lowes after much research. Do yourself a favor and get this as it took 30 seconds to cut the hole. I did not use the template. We already had an older doorbell just like this which was original to the condo circa 1985. Problem was the original hole for the old one was about half the size - so it needed to be drilled out larger- as well as a bit lower so the housing for the button mechanism on the outside of the door didn’t hit the bottom of the peephole. As others have mentioned, the biggest pain (and my reason for 4 not 5 stars) is the metal piece which is attached to the button. It’s scored but nearly impossible to cut down to size unless you have a hacksaw and a vice. Nippers didn’t do a thing to cut it. The tip of it has a hole predrilled in it that makes snipping off the first section easy but after that there are no holes so I took a pair of pliers and held the thing steady while someone else twisted it inwards and bent it enough so that the outer plastic cover could be put on. So it’s now bent but hidden inside and the button works perfectly. Done. Another option would have been to drill a couple of holes in it so you could weaken the metal and snap it off. The bell is plenty loud. I just need to touch up paint one side in a small area where the plastic cover didn’t sit in exactly the same place as the old one. I’ll upload a video of the bell sound with this review. I also used a label maker to add Last Name and house number. Looks much better than hand writing it in as suggested in the instructions.
