Newhouse Hardware CHM3D Door Chime, White

I got this chime to replace the previous 10V one that I had because I was installing a Ring Wired Doorbell Pro that needed more power than my previous doorbell transformer could give it. After installing the new transformer, this chime was easy to install and works great with the new 16V transformer and the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro. It supports two different sounds for different doors if you have wiring from different doors, but I'm only using the front door connection.Replacing my previous 10V chime with this 16V one was easy and only took a few minutes. No problems with installation.

I don’t usually write reviews, but because it is harder and harder to find accurate ones anymore, I decided to. Don’t listen to some of the negative reviews, this is all the info you need, got it??? It took 3 mins to install, if it takes you longer, please SLAP YOURSELF, seriously! The one review said the hole for the wires was too small, wrong hole jack! I have a feeling they were trying to put the wires through the top, vertical screw hole. This is identical to my old NuTone model LB12 except it is a more modern matte white color. Size, screw hole pattern and wire configuration is identical, covers are even interchangeable if you like. If you have repeat issues with a chime failing you probably have a shorted switch. I think some people reviewing this had that issue. Bottom line, it’s a cheap, effective chime. Probably could be a little louder, but good enough for us non paste eaters of the world! Thank you and have a good night! V

The doorbell was bigger than expected, but still looks good and works great. My only complaint is that it is soo loud in my 2,000 sq ft house and there is no way to adjust the volume. Your only choices are chime on or chime off.

I used the “NEWHOUSE Hardware CHM3D Door Chime”as the chime for my Ubiquiti Unifi G4 Doorbell Pro. This chime was listed as a “Compatible Chime” on the Ubiquiti G4 Doorbell Pro product page.After proper wiring (don’t forget the tiny Unifi Black Box), the chime functioned as expected.The item is very simple. There are no premium features, and no unique eye-catching design touches on the blank white plastic cover.The bell rings and the box becomes unobtrusive and invisible over time. I found no difference in the volume of the chime over the late 1980s chime the NEWHOUSE chime replaced.I wish the manufacturer placed the logo on one of the sides of the item instead of the horizontal bottom right position. I had to install my chime vertically and it would have been nice not to see the logo vertically positioned “on its side.”

I bought 2 of these doorbells because they were compatible with the ring system. It's fairly clean looking, easy to install. I haven't used the actual chimes on the device because I think ring overrides it and uses their chime function.

This replaced an old mechanical doorbell and had I not also installed two Google Nest doorbells, it probably would have been sufficient. The transformer I had was 16V /10AV which just wasn’t enough to ring the ding dong chimes with the two Google Doorbells. The Google doorbell cameras worked fine, but no chime to the unit on the wall. I replaced the transformer with a 16V / 30VA. Now while the chimes work, there is a buzz/hum as it strikes the plates. I have no idea if it is just a cheap doorbell wall unit. Rather than go through the hassles, I’ll just leave it as is, for the seconds I actually hear the ding dong. Otherwise, my Google doorbells still work nicely.

WORKS AS DESCRIBED WITH OPTION FOR 2 DOORS

Is really low level quality, the cover looks like it’s 3D printed or something. Also makes a double rattle of sorts after the initial proper ding-dong, as if the plunger is doing another inertia induced swing against its coil springs but never reached the chime bars. Yes it’s mounted right side up.
