  • More Info


    The Plug-In Extend-A-Chime works with nearly all doorbell circuits but may not be compatible with some systems (i.e. systems with a lighted push-button, that play a melody from the chimes, or that have a diode in the circuit). The Plug-In Extend-A-Chime only sounds 6 chimes when installed for the front door. When installed for the back door, the model simply sounds a "dong." The transmitter on the Extend-A-Chime is powered from the doorbell's existing voltage. The module's 2 1/4" speaker provides excellent sound. Other features include adjustable volume control, 32 changeable codes to prevent interference, and an operating range of up to 150 ft.

    For larger and multi-level houses, you may need additional chime modules.

    The Plug-In Extend-A-Chime plays six selectable chime sounds:
  • Ding Dong

  • Dong

  • Westminster Chime

  • The 12 Days of Christmas

  • Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here

  • My Country 'Tis of Thee

    I am very happy with the Plug-In extended doorbell. It works beautifully, easy to hear and the sound of the chime is lovely.

    Super easy to install, and works great! We can now hear the doorbell way down in the basement.
    DON -- southampton, ON   9/1/2011
    I ordered two of these and they work fine - EXCEPT - since one of them is for my shop building it would be good if I were able to turn the volume higher. There is a volume control but not loud enough.

    Awesome device. Works all the way on the other side of the house. Super easy to install, took about a minute.
