Description
The Extend-A-Chime Transmitter connects to the low-voltage screws in the existing hardwired doorbell and sends the wireless transmission to the Extend-A-Chime receiver (sold separately.)
Any of our wireless door chimes, except as noted below, may be modified by adding the RC3050T (Extend-A-Chime Transmitter). For example, if you already have a hardwired doorbell and you like the RC3624 Wireless Shelf Chime, wire in the RC3050T and it will send a wireless signal to your new RC3624 Shelf Chime. Your new Wireless Shelf Chime came with a wireless push button, but you would not be using it in this example. Thus, you can keep your existing hardwired push button in place and hear your new wireless chime when it is pushed.
Lamson Home Products has verified that the following WIRED models are NOT compatible with our Carlon Brand Door Bells. These units are the “Musical Record-A-Tune” which requires a microprocessor within the circuit board which makes the “Extend-A-Units” continuously ring. Therefore, they are not compatible with RC3500D/RC3030D/RC3200D.
- DH840E/SS840E
- DH852E/DH853E
- SS852E/SS853E
- DH845E/SS845E
- SS846E/SS856E
We also found that some of the Broan Product Line of WIRED doorbells are NOT compatible either.
- RC305/RC305RW
- RC306

Your order process and delivery were both well done. My client (a tough one who expects things to work effectively) was quite happy. Now, no matter where she is in the large house, she can easily know when someone goes to their gate and rings the doorbell – and we didn’t have to put any holes in her house.

I ordered the RC3200 RC3200 Extend-A-Chime Set rnTo eliminate an area of our house where we could not hear the door chime. It has a volume control and is a plug in and use unit. A great product.
Judith Zinn –
Worked very well; the only criticism is that the black caps that set the ringtone were hard to locate. Turns out they were on the battery cap, not the plug-in accessory and had to be removed with a needle nose plier. The directions should have specified where exactly the caps were located. Other than that, am pleased with the product.
Chuck –
Very pleased with the product – easy to install and works great in our basement family room. I was so pleased I have ordered another for my father.
Roy –
The Extend a Chime door chime extender works very well and would get a 5 star rating except for one little problem. When we have storms or high winds, the chime activates all by itself. We just unplug it until the storm is over.
Bob –
Works well.

Installed easily works every time
Wayne –
This is my second door-bell extender and I’m very pleased that it was still available after some 10 years of service (power surge took out my original). Very easy to install and the remote can be moved to another room(if necessary)! 5 Stars for product,same for customer support!
Fergy –
Quick and easy to install. The directions were spot on and I had a doorbell in the basement within 10 minutes of openingthe package.
Bgipson –
Excellent Customer service, and super quick shipping. Very easy to install. Only negative, is the chime is very soft dont notice much difference between the high and low setting. Should be alot louder.
Handyjack –
The Chime volume is not loud enough to ouvecome background noise even on the highest setting. Installation was simple. Overall I would rate a 3
Linda –
The doorbell extender was very easy to install and now I can be out on my screened porch and never worry about missing a visitor.
John –
In our home the wired doorbell cannot be heard in the master bedroom. By adding the “Plug-In Extend-A-Chime Door Chime Extender” we are now able to answer the doorbell when we are in that room. The product is quite good. The transmitter is easily attached to the existing doorbell, and the receiver/chime simply plugs into any house electric outlet. It took five minutes to install with just a screw driver.
Judy –
Great product, seller responded quickly. Thanks!!!
Bob –
I like it and I am glad I bought it.
El Rey –
the hard wire system is what we needed for our location. The ones from the local HD stores would not work. How ever the volume is to low even on high so it is hard to hear. The ones from the local HD have a higher volume for our location.
Pink –
This has been a great help. I can actually tell when someone is at the front door. We are very pleased.
Candace –

We live in a old and large brick home, with lots of brick walls and a completely finished basement, with no opportunity to run wires. At its loudest setting, I could not hear our door bell from my lower level office. No more! This plug in extend a chime door bell installed in minutes, and is clearly heard throughout the lower level.
RWF –
I always prefer a hard wire solution to most problems but I have found the Extend-A-Chime to be a great solution to getting a doorbell somewhere that would be difficult to get to.rnOrdered and the delivery was very quick
Dr b or hey you –
Bell reliably rings after primary bell activated

Jim –
The transmitter attached effortlessly and the plug in receiver was exactly that, Plug and Play. Easy to install and everything works as described.
Dave –
It was so easy to install, even a former U.S. submarine sailor could to it in about 4 minutes. Google the SSN571 part of my Email address and you’ll see what submarine I served on over 50 years ago.
papa –
this product is advertise works great
Larry –
Had this product before,it works great…
Lisa –
So far so good. Easy to install. Works down in my basement. Only complaint is that back door ring is very short. Should be longer like front door ring.
zip178 –
works just fine easy to install——-but sound is very low even on highest setting I would trade for a louder one but I disposed of package ,a good company would do business again. rn THANK YOU
kelly –
really easy install works great upstairs and down stairs, do wish the volume was a bit louder, and if the doorbell could be a brown color instead of white that would also be great. but all in all i really like it and i have tried multiple other door bell fixes and this one really worked! YEA!
Vince –
I had a battery type which corroded so I was looking to avoid that. After a balancing actrntwo and a half feet from doorbell over a wall mounted TV and cabnit I installed new one and my old chime worked fine. The doorbell rings and when it’s done the extended chime rings.
Kmac –
Great product. Now we can hear the doorbell in the basement.
Al –
Dealt with this company in the past and again by phone and again they are very friendly, helpful and fast in sending your order.
james –
The chime extender works like a charm! Best purchase to resolve my issues with hearing the doorbell beyond the main level of my home.
Baldy –
Works perfectly. We added a sun room to the back of the house and a second floor above. We could not hear the door bell from either space. We purchased and installed wireless door chime and extra receiver. Money well spent. The transmitter must be wired to existing low voltage door bell; very good instructions and very easy to do. Highly recommended.
Quasimodo –
The instructions were clear and the installation was easy. The receiver’s range was more than adequate and it performed perfectly. The choice of chime melodies was a bonus.
Mike –
Excellent product that is easy to install and operate.
PGT –
Perfect alternative to wiring a second bell, easy to hook up to existing, very reasonable price, I love it!

This doorbell chime extender was very easy to install, loud enough to hear a good distance, and worked the first time.
Denny –
The Extend-A-Chime Door Chime Extender was VERY easy to install. The sound is great and we can now hear the door bell upstairs and downstairs in our home!
Tom –
Worked as advertised. Installation could not have be easier.
ScottH –
We have had one of these in our home for a dozen years so that you can hear the doorbell in the basement. Works great. I recently bought another so that my mother could hear the doorbell when she is in the back part of her house. Now she can hear the doorbell ring back there even when she isn’t wearing her hearing aids.
SNOSE –
good price, arrived promptly, worked as described
Steve Swigart –
Purchased the extender as we discovered that we could not hear the doorbell when we were on our balcony with the glass slider doors closed. Installation of the product was very easy, instructions were clear and the product functioned as described. Good volume and very clear sound. We are pleased with this purchase.
The only issue during installation was that there was insufficient room within the doorbell housing to hide the transmitter unit. This of course is not the responsibility of the extender but it did require some creative modification of the housing. I suppose that with a different housing, room would not have been an issue.
Jason Warren –
Hi Steve,
I am glad you liked the product. Yes, sometimes people are able to hide the extender inside their door chime cabinet. Wish you could have, but I am glad to hear you are Okay with that.
Ramon Cardona –
Had this system for some time and it is reliable. The sound is quality, the range is very good. With adjustable volume and many sounds to select, plus a very reasonable price, I am a satisfied customer.
Jason Warren –
Hi Ray,
Thanks for the kind works and we are glad you like the product. Please do not hesitate if you need any assistance!
Thank you,
Jason
Tanya Martin –
Works as advertised. Happy customer!

With the help of customer service rep. we picked this to make our old door bell easier to hear on our back porch and in our bedroom. It came quickly and though easy to install, we once again had to rely on company rep. to help assure us how to do it. Once we were sure what we were doing this hooks up in just a minute or two. It greatly increase the sound where we need it. I was surprised to discover that it was set on “Westminster” chime, & though it had other choices, this was the sound that my parents’ grandfather clock made when I was a child. That was a surprise bonus in the chime choices. Already we heard the chime when we were on out back porch and it alerted us to a UPS package that was dropped on our front porch. In this day of package thefts, it was an expensive item and it was after dark outside, so we feel it saved us from leaving a package out all night, which would have been ample time for someone to steal it. We’re happy with the purchase, now we just need some visitors!
Debra Obirek –
“Set it to Ding-Dong”… words I never thought I would hear my husband say to me! LOL! This extender is great – easy to install and does exactly what it is supposed to do. The original doorbell rang in the guest bedroom end of the house, and wasn’t audible in the kitchen or living areas. Added the extender, and problem resolved. We are Adding two at Mom’s for Christmas!
Patricia Patricia –
Excellent product. We moved into a new home and the doorbell was very difficult to hear other than in the front room where the bell was located. We ordered your product and were amazed at the difference. It was very easy to install…took 15 minutes! We put the receiver in a staircase and now we can hear it throughout the entire house, even on the medium setting. We highly recommend this product and the speedy service and delivery.
Jason Warren –
THanks for your kind words, but more important, I am glad to hear you are happy with your product! Please call or email us with any issues! 🙂
Doug –
I’ve had one of these for about 15 years and loved it. So when it recently failed to ring, I looked around at my options. Nothing beats this item for my needs. No batteries to change, little effort to install it, and it simply works!
But please pass on to the manufacturer that even on loud, the ringing is too quiet. Definitely quieter than my old unit.
Briston Fernandes –
This is my second Plug-In Door Chime Extender. I purchased an identical item from the same company about a year ago. It works so well that I decided to purchase another one for a family member. It also installs easily in a few minutes! I prefer the plug-in receiver because there is no worry about changing batteries. 1-800 Door Bell is a customer friendly company. They shipped the product the same day so I received it in a couple of days and installed it immediately. I would definitely recommend this product without any reservations. 5-Star Rating!
Gregg Rayburn –
Worked perfectly right out of the box. Simple instal and works great. Absolutely first rate.
