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 DH250 is one of the more flexible wired doorbell chimes in this group because it can be powered two different ways. If you already have a standard transformer, you can wire it in normally. If you are working in a location without transformer power, it can also run on four C batteries, which makes it easier to use in retrofit situations.
This model supports one or two doors and uses different tones so you can tell whether the front or secondary push button was pressed. One important note: if you are using a lighted doorbell button, you should power this chime with a transformer rather than batteries, since the lamp can drain the batteries prematurely.
Details to know
- Wired door chime for one or two doors
- Two notes for front door, one note for second door
- Can run on 4 C batteries or a 16V transformer
- Do not use battery mode with a lighted push button
- One-year manufacturer warranty

That chime reminds me of my folks house growing up. Fortunately I figured out the wiring so I don't have to use the batteries.

We needed a battery powered wired chime for an installation without transformer. I was able to find all needed information on the website and received the package quickly. The world would be a better place if all online sellers functioned like 1800Doorbell.

Was excited to find a door bell that I did not have to use with a transformer. Works great with batteries and easy to attach to my outside door ringer. A great find.
★★★★★JimDec 24, 2020
After searching the web for an uncommon doorbell I finally found one at 1800Doorbell. The order process was fast and easy. I tracked my shipment and watched it go from facility to distribution center and so on. Then my package seemed to disappeared. Gone. Tracking never updated. I waited and waited. Nothing. I called 1800Doorbell and told them what happend. The representative on the phone said "that's not good". She said "I'll ship you another one right now." Nice. I got the second shipment in only a few days. I installed it at the customer's house. "Ding Ding" Yey! A doorbell never sounded so good. Thank you!
★★★★★Lynda T.Dec 20, 2020
I am still waiting to receive my doorbell. The doorbell was suppose to arrive several days ago and tracking info says only “arriving late”. Not Happy.
★★★★★JiMay 5, 2020
Brushed Bronze not as Bronze as I had thought. Goes Ding-Dong.!!! Just what the Dr. Ordered.
★★★★★aderonke O.Jan 25, 2020

★★★★★John K.Aug 11, 2018
Excellent product and very easy to install. Especially when you have no room for a transformer and have to use batteries.
