Heath Zenith Wired Mechanical Doorbell Chime, White, Plastic, Wired, 2 Tunes, Vertical, Horizontal, 80 dB, Button Not Included

I replaced a 20 year old door bell. It was easy and all three door bells are working fine now.

I purchased a Ring 2 doorbell and installed it (hardwire) -- connected to an existing doorbell. My existing doorbell was a basic Nutone chime bell. The first time I clicked the button on the Ring 2 I heard a buzzing sound from the existing chime and then it fizzled out and the bell wouldn't work anymore. After doing some online research, this seemed to be a common problem with Nutone chimes with Ring 2s. So, I purchased this inexpensive doorbell , replaced the Nutone with this one and it works great. Nice , pleasant, loud (but not annoying ) ding dong sound. Sure, I could have used the Ring Wireless chime but I don't like that "electronic" sounding bell. The drill holes didn't quite line up with the Nutone holes, but no big deal. I am NOT a handy person at all but this was super easy to do. If you have a Ring 2 bell , rest assured that this doorbell will work well!

This Heath Zenith SL-2796-02 Basic Series Wired Door Chime, White is supposed to be a direct replacement for my broken chime with the same part number and identical external measurements. The new chime works very well and is loud and clear, as expected.My problem is that the mounting holes are about 1/4" narrower on the new chime than my old chime. In all other ways the old and new chimes look identical. If you are using this new chime as a replacement chime for a chime that has been painted around, mounting holes that do not align are a problem. My old chime was mounted in drywall using plastic anchors. If I use one of the holes on the new chime, the 2nd hole will not only not line up with the old second hole, it is too close to the old hole to put in a new drywall anchor. Since there was no room to drill a new hole in the chime plastic bracket I had to remount the new chime and touch up the paint. This was much more work than I had intended for a stupid mistake by the manufacturer. If the mounting holes had lined up properly I would have given this chime 5 stars but, since they didn't line up it was really 3 stars for my purposes, so I averaged them out to 4 stars.

Very close match to replace the original Trine Chime and makes the same ding-dong sound. A ladder was needed but otherwise easy install. I thought the plastic screw anchors were a bit large or the screws were too small but they worked and unlikely the chime will get bumped mounted high in the hallway.One of the donger rods has a foam pad on top of it. It is not mentioned in the instructions so I wasn't sure if it was packing material or needed so I left it in. Chime works fine.

Bought this for my Skybell doorbell as I originally had a digital bell chime that requires an adapter for it to be compatible with the Skybell. I didn't want to bother with waiting for the adapter and wasn't comfortable with the reviews on the adapter with a digital chime. So I just replaced my chime box instead. This is a manual chime and works great with the Skybell. It was easy to install following the instructions. Easier for me because I only have one doorbell. If you have a Skybell this manual chime will work. You just have to disable the digital chime in the Skybell app. And it does chime with a "ding dong" not just a "ding" like in some reviews. I already have a transformer in my wall wiring. Works great and keeps my Skybell powered as well. No more issues like I had with my digital chime box like when I first installed my Skybell. Great price too. It's loud enough to hear around my entire 1800 sq ft house.

Great tool

All in all the product works fine.However if you bought this item because others said it was compatible to a ring. It is NOT working and will not fix the hum problem with the ring doorbell pro2 camera. Basically waste of money for me. But hoping this will save someone else the hassle. It is all smaller than the chime box that came with the house so I also have some paint to touch up. But looks more clean than the other. One screw came pre stripped. Luckily still had screws from old unit.

My house has a strange layout where there are two transformers and two different doorbell units. I had installed a unit very similar to this for our main door about 12 years ago and it still works fine. On the other door, there was a crummy painted over buzzer, not a bell, and it died. To replace it, I wanted to have it look like the other unit since the two units are fairly close to each other (one is in the kitchen and one is in the adjoining foyer).The cover of this unit is an exact match for the old one. The internal mechanism is slightly different. The old one has three mounting screws (similar to one of the reviewers here). The new one has two mounting screws. If you stare through the slots at the bottom of the cover, they look slightly different, but I am not sure who would ever do that (except for me since I installed both).The new one is installed as a "back" door so it just does a ding, rather than a ding-dong, to distinguish it from the old one.It was nice to be able to find a nice simple doorbell for a good price. I installed a musical doorbell for my parents and it died after about five years. Sometimes simpler is just better.Another reviewer commented that these covers are good for replacing missing ones from older units and I would have to agree since I can interchange my 12 year old cover with the new one with no issues.My only possible negative is that if you have a really big house, this doorbell may not be loud enough for you. In my three bedroom house, I think it is loud enough.
