Choosing Wireless Door Chimes

Decide how the chime is powered and how far away the bell push will be.

Frequently asked questions

How does a plug-in wireless door chime work?

A plug-in wireless door chime has a receiver that plugs into a mains socket indoors and a battery-powered bell push fixed by the door. Pressing the push sends a radio signal to the receiver, which plays the chosen tune. Some plug-through models keep the socket usable, and many add a flashing light for noisy rooms or people who are hard of hearing.

How do you install a wireless door chime?

Fit the batteries in the bell push, pair it with the chime unit using the learn button if needed, and test it before fixing anything in place. Mount the push beside the door with screws or a self-adhesive pad, then plug in or place the chime where it can be heard. Metal doors and thick walls can shorten the wireless range.

What is a wireless door chime?

A wireless door chime is a doorbell that uses a radio signal, not a cable, to link the bell push outside to the chime unit inside. The push usually runs on a small battery, while the chime plugs into a socket or uses batteries of its own. Extra receivers or pushes can often be added. The range here includes plug-in chimes, a battery chime and a smart Wi-Fi chime.
