Newhouse Hardware CHIMEBASE2 Door Bell Chime Mechanism Assembly — Fits Most Nutone Models (Black)

Upgrade your door chime with the Newhouse Hardware CHIMEBASE2 Door Bell Chime Mechanism

The CHIMEBASE2 provides a dedicated base chassis for Nutone style door chimes. This listing features the base only, with mounting screws included. The cover and doorbell button must be added separately to complete the look. If you already own a compatible cover, you can pair it with this mechanism to refresh your entry signal without changing the wiring.

Key measurements and finish help you plan the install: the base is 6.75 inches long, 4.75 inches wide, and about 1.75 inches deep. The black finish offers a timeless, unobtrusive presence that blends with many decors. The system delivers the classic two-note ding dong for the front door, plus an additional connection for a rear or side door, giving you flexible notification options.

Power and compatibility notes provide practical guidance: use with a 16-volt transformer rated at 10 VA or 15 VA. The transformer is not included, but you can search for compatible transformers using terms like 16TR or 3TRAN. The kit includes the base and mounting screws; the cover is not included, allowing you to choose a cover that suits your home style.

Plan your setup with these considerations:

• Fits many Nutone models listed in the product notes, making it a versatile upgrade.
• Supports the front door ding and an additional rear or side door notification series.
• Compact base that hides neatly behind a cover or sits in a recessed area.

Practical installation tips for real world use: measure your old chime base before purchasing, confirm a compatible transformer, and remember that the cover and button are sold separately. This approach lets you refresh an older chime without overhauling the entire unit, preserving the familiar chime cadence while updating the hardware.

In everyday life, the CHIMEBASE2 offers a straightforward path to a refreshed Nutone style chime. It is a practical option for homeowners who want a clean, functional base with a classic two tone chiming experience and a black finish that blends into most entryways. Consider this base as a possibility for upgrading your current setup and achieving a dependable door notification system.
