Buying notes
Is this the right fit?
- Good fit when
- Use this when doorbell wiring is already in place and you want a permanent, battery-free chime.
- Look at another option when
- It is not the easiest choice when there is no usable wiring, when the door is far from the chime, or when receivers are needed in several rooms.
- Range reality
- Check the listed compatibility and placement notes before ordering. Building layout often matters as much as the product rating.
- Setup note
- Check the existing transformer, button, and chime compatibility before replacing parts. Video doorbells may need more transformer capacity than an older chime did.
The CH2401 stands out because the cabinet itself is part of the appeal. The unfinished oak version can be stained, painted, or otherwise finished to match surrounding trim, while the ebony version gives you a darker ready-made look without the extra finishing work. That makes this model especially useful for remodels, custom interiors, or homes where a plain plastic cover would feel out of place.
This is still a practical wired door chime, not just a decorative cabinet. It plays two notes for the front door and one note for the back door, and it can be mounted horizontally or vertically depending on the wall space available.

Looks great
★★★★★Theodore R.Jan 28, 2023
This doorbell is replacing one that was 20+ years old and and the back door chime no longer worked. This was a perfect replacement and being able to match the finish of my existing wood work made it even better.
★★★★★PATTIE S.Nov 12, 2022
Received our new door chime within a few days of ordering. We found a problem with it when we opened everything. I wrote to 1800 Doorbell and got a prompt response back. Jason was kind enough to send out a replacement right away. Great service!!
★★★★★James M.Aug 24, 2022
Very nice looking chime box, made of wood. We painted ours to match the mantel in the living room next door. Chime is a pleasant old-fashioned "ding-dong". Nothing too fancy. Just solid construciton, good materials and easy to install. The price is right as well.
★★★★★Geoff C.Apr 14, 2022
I was looking for a replacement chime with cover that looked nicer than my original chime with plastic cover. The CH2401 Craftmade Wood Chime was the same chime base with an unfinished wood cover. I sanded the cover and applied 3 coats ofwater based semigloss clear polyurethane. The chime installed and works like the original. The finished wood cover looks very nice on the wall and goes nicely with the hardwood floors. The wood species is listed as oak, but, doesnt really look like oak.
★★★★★Sandra C.Nov 19, 2021
This product was exactly what we were looking for and the delivery of the item was done in a timely manner. I have never ordered from this company before but they are now on my go to list. The price was fair and was even better than a local company had as a list price for the item. I will certainly shop 1800 Doorbell in the future.
★★★★★Mary P.Jul 31, 2020
We needed a new doorbell as we are remodeling. The one we chose from 1800 Doorbell was great! We bought the unfinished oak and painted it to match the walls....perfect!
★★★★★CyndiJul 20, 2020
I chose this doorbell to go in my Florida coastal-style home. I liked that it was wood and could be painted or stained to go with my decor - much better than the cheap-looking plastic ones I could have gotten at a big-box store. While it is a little bigger than I would have liked, it will blend well when painted. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.
★★★★★LouAnne C.Mar 9, 2020
I was looking for a door chime that wasn't plastic and didn't look like I bought it at a big box store. The Craftmade chime fit the bill. It's well made and it blends with my beach-themed interior. I opted to leave it unfinished rather than stain or paint it, and it looks great. Shipping was quick and the product was well packaged to prevent damage in transit.
★★★★★Ellen K.Jan 4, 2020
Doorbell works great. Chime is audible throughout.our home. We painted the box to match the wall; the simple design is perfect. Would recommend!
★★★★★S C.Nov 16, 2019
Beautifully made, quick shipping.

Q&A
Questions & Answers
Answers from our team for CH2401 Craftmade Wood Wired Chime in Unfinished Oak or Ebony.
Does this doorbell require a transformer too or is that included/ part of the doorbell?
Good morning. The CH2401 does require a 16 volt transformer and that transformer is not included. The recommended transformer would be the T1610. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Christine B.
Are there actual chime tubes inside? Our current chime has 2 tubes about 1.25 in in diameter with small strike rods that create the sound. I'm looking to replicate that?
Good afternoon. The CH2401-UO is a mechanical, two note chime, it has plungers that will strike a mechanism to create the sound. The mechanism in this chime does not have tubes but is more of a flat bar. Please see the 2nd thumbnail picture in the link provided below for an example of the chime mechanism. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell https://www.1800doorbell.com/c102-mech-mech-only-chime.htm
Answered for Real I.
Do you have to wire both bells (back and front door?
The CH2401 is a two note (ding,ding/dong), wired chime but you do not have to connect a front and back door. The chime would work with only a front door connection. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Jennifer M.
Am I able to use a 16v plug in transformer for this chime?
Hi Marilyn, According to the manufacturer (Craftmade), this model requires a 16V transformer for operation but does not specify standard or plugin transformer. We've haven't had any negative feedback from customer's using a plugin 16V transformer with this chime. Thank you.
Answered for Marilyn D.
Howdy....can this chime be mounted either vertically or horizontally? Thanks so much, Steve?
Yes, it may be mounted horizontally or vertically.
Answered for Steven F.
Our chime works fine but we need a new cover — is the cover in the light finish paintable?
Yes, it is paintable. You can simply use the cover. The only stipulation is that your current wired doorbell mechanism fits inside this cover. If it does not, you'll have the new one to install.
Answered for Alice C.
Does the unfinished cover have the three horizontal grooves across the width of the cover?
The grooves run the width and/or height of the cover. You can hang this horizontally or vertically, so that's why I said both "width" and "height."
Answered for Susan N.
Can this be installed hardwired into an existing home or do you have to use this transformer that the description talks about?
This should work fine with your existing wired doorbell transformer assuming the existing on is working and is a 16V transformer.
Answered for Kristen C.
Does this chime box come with a door push button?
Ms.Hammond, Good morning. The CH2401 is the chime only, a push button would need to be purchased separately. Thank you, Customer Support Team 1800Doorbell
Answered for Nicole H.
Can this be mounted horizontally?
Good morning. The CH2401 chime can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
Answered for Douglas S.
Does this kit come with the transformer built in? Does it require three wires to connect the front bell and the back bell. I have three wires from my old door bell.
Good morning. This chime does not have a transformer built in and operates off of a 16 volt transformer. We would recommend the T1610 by Craftmade. This chime plays two notes for the front door and one note for the back door.
