Thank you. Just replaced the doorbell and the box chime. Doorbell didn’t have anything and the owner/tenant had the ring camera. Took that off yesterday and installed everything next day. The box chime appears original from when the house was built in the 80’s. All yellow and super dusty inside. Glad it’s new and white.
Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa
Thank you for this video. My problem is the house I'm in never had a wired doorbell so it would be a new installation all around. We thought the door bell was wired but it was battery. Great video thanks!
I have a old house I have 2 black wires coming from electrical system hooked up to the old transformer How do I hook up the new transformer that has 3 wires 1black 1 green and 1 white ?
Since no one answered your 2nd question, here you go. If the transformer doesn't include wires to connect to the 120 V house lines, you can connect either 12 gauge or 14 gauge wires there. For the chimes and the doorbell button outside, you can run 16 gauge wires for those connections from the transformer. You will be good to go.
Sir, I have wiring situation. My transformer has 2 white and 2 black wires (on the 16 volts side) connected to it. The white one’s are connected to one terminal together and black one’s are connected to second terminal together. Then I have 1 red and 1 white at the door bell button and i have 2 white wires and 2 red wires at the chime. Can u tell me how the wires are to be hooked up to the chime? Thanks
That slight buzzing sound is the solenoid, which turns the electrical energy into the mechanical energy needed to ring the physical chime that's in the housing. With the housing closed and if you're a reasonable distance from the solenoid, you can't hear it at all.
You transformer brings the voltage from 110 volts down to 16 volts. If I had to guess there is a transformer on your current doorbell it's just hidden in the wall somewhere
I'm going to put mine in a double gang electrical box with a white flat cover installed in the drywall, I think if you can't put it in a utility room that's the best option for accessibility and hiding.
Hello, I have a question: in my country the voltage used is 110v, there is a problem if when installing my doorbell I do not use a transformer, I have already tried it and it still works without it. Thank you
Little scary to watch you use matches to shrink the heat shrink tubing. As a firefighter I do not recommend doing that. I have seen too many bad outcomes from dong things like that.
What in the world are you talking about? If someone can find a way to burn their house down by using a match on heatshrink, then they shouldn't even be trusted around a microwave.

U are the man bro thank u for the knowledge I'm making money installing all types of 🔔
So that's how you use shrink connectors! Only critique, I would have used a plate over that door damage prior to putting on the chime button in place.
Interesting how you connected the wire
Nice job bud! Thanks for the tips!

My wires are very short as well. What did you use to extend the wires by the door?
Figured it out. Used the wire extenders that came with my Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2
My guy how did you get in there??
Thank you for video, two questions: 1) Is the lower voltage AC? 2) What gauge is needed for the low voltage wires?
Is transformer not inverter
Yes it's still AC

@@thomast8539 Thank you!
If you remove that metal bar/plate will it still chime?
Nice video ,thanks for share!!!
Nice job now I know thank you
What size transformer is it?

My doorbell chime is old but thank to you I was able to find the transformer
Thank you ❤❤❤
Very well done!
So why does it buzz right before the chime? Is the unit defective?
That slight buzzing sound is the solenoid, which turns the electrical energy into the mechanical energy needed to ring the physical chime that's in the housing. With the housing closed and if you're a reasonable distance from the solenoid, you can't hear it at all.
Our doorbell has no transformer, but the new one does, why do I need the transformer
You transformer brings the voltage from 110 volts down to 16 volts. If I had to guess there is a transformer on your current doorbell it's just hidden in the wall somewhere
When I drywall, the transformer is going to be sticking out of the wall. Any other way to hook it up without it protruding out of the drywall?
I believe it has to be accessible (in case needing to be replaced). You'll probably just want it in an inconspicuous location.
Just leave it outside the junction box
I'm going to put mine in a double gang electrical box with a white flat cover installed in the drywall, I think if you can't put it in a utility room that's the best option for accessibility and hiding.
@@rowanro I ended up running it to the basement that was the easiest way for me
That’s a good option
The ratio looking good here , coming from mkbhd video lol

What are you even talking about?
You run your doorbell with 120 volts? Lmfao
@@showbizwisconsin8350 right lmao he probably has a SpongeBob alarm clock hooked to it LMAO 🤣😂
You should have made a nicer cover for the button
Dogs love 8:36
You failed show the connection of the red wires on the transformer?
Watch it again. Although he didn't show the final connection, he did show that he was using the 16 volt terminal connections on the transformer.
gotta figure out why our new bell only gone ding instead of ding .....dong
Probably have it wired to the backdoor chime. Front will have ding dong, backdoor will have ding.

You’re not gonna wanna learn about soldering copper plumbing pipes…

Seen a lot of dongs in your career as a firefighter, have you?
Misleading this is how to replace not how to install
