Heath Zenith White Plastic Wired Mechanical Doorbell Chime

This chime replaced an old Heath Zenith chime and the footprint was not as large as the old one so the mounting holes were different but overall it was easy to install. It has a clear and pretty loud chime.

Basic and generic doorbell chime. I bought it to replace the old chime installed in my house which are not compatible with Smart doorbells (I have a Blink Doorbell and it would make a buzzing sound). This one works perfect, looks basic, was easy to mount and the material is adequate. Best of all, no annoying hum coming from the low electric signal being sent from the Blink Doorbell.

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!

Doorbell works fine, however screw would not tighten completely with wall anchors.

PRO - Traditional “Ding, Dong” mechanical door bell, not some electronic sound. Easy installation with decent instructions. Good loudness. Size of ringer mechanism and plastic cover are standard, if you’re replacing an old unit that’s mounted horizontally , this should be near or exact replacement. Good value. CON - Plastic cover is bright white, not an off-white or beige color.

Easy to install, works well.

There is nothing fancy about this, which is exactly what I wanted. It looks neat and didn't give me any trouble during the setup. However, the ring is just really quiet. If you have any background noise going on in the house, you'll probably miss it. It is probably fine for a small apartment, but might be too quiet for a larger house.

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.
