Overview
A wired mechanical chime in white with two separate note sets: a classic ding-dong for the front door and a single ding for a side or back entrance. Suited to replacing an old chime or finishing a new build's doorbell wiring.
This is the chime unit alone; a 16V/10VA or 16V/30VA transformer, a push button and bell wire complete the circuit, and none of those three ship in the box. Newhouse points buyers who want the full kit toward its CKIT1, CKIT1X, CKIT6, CKIT7 or CKIT8 bundles instead. Mounting screws for the cover are included.
- 2-note ding-dong front, 1-note ding for a second door
- 85dB volume
- Needs a 16V/10VA or 16V/30VA transformer (not included)
- Mounting screws included; matches CKIT1/CKIT6/CKIT7/CKIT8 kits
Who it's for
Homeowners rewiring or replacing an existing two-button wired chime, or finishing electrical for a new build where a transformer and push buttons are already planned. Not a fit for anyone wanting a battery or smart doorbell chime, since this unit is wired-only.
Pros and cons
- Two distinct tones tell you which door rang
- White cover works with modern or traditional trim
- Mounting screws for the cover are included
- Transformer, push button and bell wire sold separately
- Wired-only, no battery or smart-home option
Performance notes
Two separate solenoid coils sit behind the cover, each wired to its own push-button circuit through a step-down transformer; pressing the front button strikes both coils for the two-note ding-dong while the back or side button strikes just one for a single ding, at up to 85dB.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Newhouse CHM1 include a transformer?
No. It needs a 16V/10VA or 16V/30VA transformer, plus a push button and bell wire, none of which ship with the chime.
Can the CHM1 sound different tones for two doors?
Yes, it plays a two-note ding-dong when the front button is pressed and a single ding for a separate back or side door button.
What if I need the transformer and push button too?
Newhouse sells complete kits under model numbers CKIT1, CKIT1X, CKIT6, CKIT7 and CKIT8 that bundle the chime, transformer and button together.
