Even after having said that, at this price, this might even be a better solution given the labor of pulling wires, the convenience of being able moving the chime at any time, or easily adding more chimes to the system. For me, this item worked great, and was exactly what I was looking for: a transmitter that wires to the existing chime (therefore no batteries required), and a chime receiver that could be plugged in anywhere (also no batteries required). The configurable chime tunes (8 I believe, easily set with jumper blocks) and a volume setting are a nice bonus. Before ordering, you may want to confirm the voltage at your existing (wired) door chime, as I have read other reviews that stated if the voltage is too low (less than 12VAC?) when the doorbell is rung, it may not work reliably. My review is 5 stars since it works as designed for me, but I figured it might bear mentioning my setup. It is as follows: - Standard contractor doorbell, nothing fancy. Installed on the wall right by the front door. - Standard 16VAC transformer in basement mechanical room. - 1 doorbell button (front door). - Carlon/Lamson/Thomas & Betts/Whatever Extend-a-chime plugged into an outlet, in the basement, in a storage room, behind a door, approximately 20-25 feet (rough guess) from the transmitter upstairs. Confirmed voltage at the doorbell chime upstairs was approximately 14VAC when quickly pressing the doorbell as a typical visitor might do. Holding the button down was not necessary. If I had to find something wrong, it would be the way to set the transmitter frequency. This is done by clipping wires, instead of the preferred method of jumper blocks, like the tune selection. I suspect however, you may not need to change this out of the box, unless you are using multiple transmitters in the same house. But even in that situation, you would simply change one transmitter by clipping a wire, and not ever need to change it back. Overall a simple, clean and easy installation, and works as a reasonable person would expect. Review: Good Transmitter that Works Well with Existing Wired Doorbell - Great product at a very reasonable price. This is a good product that works well and is easy to use. INSTALLATION: Attached the transmitter to the existing wired door bell inside the house on the existing door chime. The transmitter is pretty small - I did not measure it but I think the dimensions are about 3" x 1.5" x 3/4" or so. It is pretty small. It fit in a slot that was designed to hold 3 D cell batteries in the existing door chime (if you used it wirelessly). Took about 5 minutes to install (Two wires to attach with a cross tip screwdriver). FUNCTION: Plugged the chime into a wall socket in our downstairs so now everyone upstairs and downstairs can hear the doorbell ring. Even heard it when we had our television on fairly loud watching a sporting event - chime was clear and loud. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004WKY5 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (263) | | Date First Available | February 13, 2005 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Item model number | CECOMINOD047273 | | Manufacturer | LAMSON HOME PRODUCTS | | Part Number | RC3200 | | Product Dimensions | 9.2 x 7.3 x 2 inches | ## Images ![Lamson CECOMINOD047273 RC3200 Extend-A-Chime Plug-In - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sGT1R6+QL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect solution *by S***. on March 6, 2017* If you have a finished basement, and/or don't have ceiling/wall access to run wires to install a second hard-wired chime in another room, this is the perfect solution.

The Extend-a-Chime install process couldn't have been simpler, and I would highly recommend it if you're well within the advertised 150' range. Unfortunately, in my case, the range just wasn't long enough to get it to work reliably. If you're looking for an alternative to this product that has a better range (and more features), then try the Honeywell Wireless Extender combined with their Wireless Door Chime . That combination works very well and has about 3x the effective range of the Extend-a-Chime. Overall, although the Extend-a-Chime didn't work for me, it did work well within a limited range. The install was easy and the instructions were clear - so I'm still giving it 4 stars and would recommend it to users who just want to extend their doorbell to another part of their house. Aside from the limited range, the only other downside I found with the Extend-a-Chime was the very bulky transmitter. When I set it up with my existing doorbell, I found that it was almost impossible to either conceal or make look good. The wires also come out the bottom, so you can't hide them in the wall. In some ways, I'm kind of glad it didn't work out since it would have looked so klunky compared to the solution I ended up going with. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/6616871-lamson-cecominod047273-rc3200-extend-a-chime-plug-in](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/6616871-lamson-cecominod047273-rc3200-extend-a-chime-plug-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
