Description
The LRA-EX1000S Doorbell Extender with Plugin Receiver and Strobe Light
The LRA-EX1000S-L is a Plugin Chime Kit to Extend the Wired Doorbell Sound Through Your Home. Do you have trouble hearing the wired doorbell in your home? Do you have areas where you can’t hear your doorbells, such as the basement or an upstairs bedroom? A doorbell extender will do the trick.
This doorbell extender kit features a wireless doorbell transmitter – that easily wires into your existing wired doorbell – and a plugin receiver. Connect the transmitter to your wired doorbell (following the instructions), plug in the flashing strobe receiver, pair the units together, and you have easily increased the sound of your current wired doorbell. When a visitor pushes the wired doorbell button outside your home, your wired doorbell will work as usual. Simultaneously, the wireless transmitter wired into the doorbell ) will send a wireless signal to the plug-in receiver. Depending on the operating mode the receiver is set to, it will flash the strobe, play a melody, or both.
The LRA-EX1000S doorbell extender kit ships with one plugin receiver. However, add additional plug-in chimes to hear the sound in other rooms. The LRA-DCRXS is the plug-in receiver that ships with this kit and is available to purchase separately as an add-on unit to expand the sound to other rooms. For example, you might plug a receiver into your living room and also purchase add-ons to put a receiver in the kitchen, upstairs bedroom, basement, garage, etc. Not only is the LRA-DCRXS available, but there are also a series of other transmitters (motion sensor, door contacts, push buttons, etc.) and two other receivers like the LRA-DCRX Multi-Zone Receiver and the LRA-VPRX Portable Receiver that are all compatible.
What does a doorbell extender do?
The transmitter in this kit wires into the existing wired doorbell in your home. It is compatible with wired chimes that play a “ding” or “ding-dong” sound. NOTE: the extender will not work with video doorbells and intercom systems. The transmitter is easy to install using the included instructions. The transmitter works with up to two doors. For example, your existing wired doorbell may play “ding-dong” for the front door and “dong” for the back door. The transmitter extender may be set up to play one melody when the front door button is pressed and a different melody when the back doorbell push button is pressed. If your existing wired doorbell is only wired for the front door, that’s also okay.
Can’t Hear Your Doorbell? The LRA EX1000S Doorbell Extender Plugin Chime Kit to Extend Wired Doorbell Sound Through Your Home
These are long-range products that ensure they work in most environments. Many people have negative experiences with wireless doorbell products, and that’s because the wireless range (from transmitter to receivers) for products purchased at hardware stores tends to be 150 ft. max. These are line of sight numbers, and any building materials, such as walls, doors, etc., will reduce the transmission range. For example, a brick wall will reduce the wireless signal by 60%-70%, and each interior wall will reduce the signal by another 30%-40%. Doing the math, you can easily see why our LRA products, with a 1,000 ft. range, dramatically improve over a wireless product with a 150 ft. range.
- Kit ships with 1 x LRA-DCRXS Plugin Chime Receiver & 1 x LRA-EXTX Doorbell Extender Transmitter.
- There is no limit to the number of LRA series receivers (LRA-DCRXS, LRA-DCRX, LRA-VPRX) each transmitter may be paired with. For example, the LRA-EXTX extender may be paired with five plug-in receivers you have placed throughout your home.
- The wireless range from the transmitter to the receiver is up to 1,000 ft. line-of-sight. Environmental and building materials will reduce the wireless range.
LRA-EXTX Features:
- Transmitter dimensions: 2-1/4” L x 2-1/4” W x 1/2” D (wires to connect to wired doorbell are approximately 9” each).
- Transmitter wires into existing wired doorbell (usually hanging in the home’s foyer).
- It only works with standard wired doorbells that play traditional ding-dong-type sounds.
- Includes connections for front and back doors—one melody for the front door and one for the back door.
- Powered by an extremely long-lasting lithium battery (CR123A) that should last many years without changing.
- Typically, the transmitter is mounted on a wall slightly above the wired doorbell cabinet. In some cases, you may be able to hide the transmitter inside the doorbell cabinet.

Installed the product with ease. It works perfectly, as desired. No more missed doorbells.
Rudae Strickland –
This is a very wonderful system to expand your existing doorbell set-up. It is great how you can tie it into your doorbell chime. It is very helpful to have a receiver which you can move from one location to another location very easily, if required. Moreover, being able to add additional receiver easier, if required, is a very good benefit.

The bell extender works well and easy to install.
I had one before but it quit.
I needed a new one because of the virus we had more food delivery.

Amazon was so cluttered I couldn’t figure out what I was buying. 1800Doorbell had a well organized web site that made it easier to find what I wanted.
Lee Simkins –
Easy to install. Provides a sound and flashing light in our back porch when the doorbell ( which we could not hear) is pressed.

Logan Farrar –
I recently installed soundproofing to my Voiceover studio, and it is now so quiet that I could not hear the doorbell. Neither could the dog. I have relied on him to hear the chime in the past.
I bought a doorbell extender with a remote strobe. I have the strobe plugged into a power strip in the studio and it flashes brilliantly when the doorbell rang. No chime to mess up a recording, or the dog barking.
This strobe has been a wonderful addition. The installation and testing took about a half an hour. I had to video record the strobe because I couldn’t get from the front door into the studio to see the strobe. I have a video record of the strobe flashing.
Thank you, 1800! Doorbell. This is a great product.

Darryl Roberts –
It did just what I wanted it to do. When the doorbell rings we now hear it in the basement.
O Lawson –
The reason I gave 4 stars was because the setup instructions, for me, were not clear/user friendly….Once you know the right sequence and length of time pressing and holding buttons the connection went quickly.
James cain –
1800 Doorbell go out of their way to ensure their customers are happy with their product. You don’t found many business today like this company standing behind their product
mary lynne howell –
Works great
Anna Levin –
When I was a little confused with the directions 1800Doorbell was very helpful and explanatory in getting my extenders to work properly. Now I hear the front and back doors with two distinct loud but pleasant sounds all over my big house. I love it!
Robert Fitchett –
Instructions were a little hard to follow , they need to be up dated to reflect the current model. Once installed it works great
Archie Prutzman –
Very good company. They do try to make customer happy
Miachael Larr –
I installed the wireless doorbell as per the instructions. I rang the door bell to and it worked. Then it started ringing for no reason. I discovered that every time the video camera picked up motion it would activate the doorbell. I am returning it for a full refund
Richard– Cape Cod –
Easy to install and link to current doorbell. Strobe plug-in easy to relocate if needed.
Debra D Scott –
I like it. I ordered an extra receiver. However, the transmitter came with a dead battery and I had to purchase new batteries (waiting 2 wks) before I could actually get this installed and working.
Now it works fine, I have a different chime for the front and back door and the light on both receivers flashes with the chime (receivers placed on upper and lower level of the house)
AJ –
Couldn’t hear my chime that was mounted upstairs. Purchased an extender from home depot that was very unreliable which I suspect was due to inability to transmit or receive due to range even though I was within the rate 150′. Purchased twice, eventually quit working twice. This extender hasn’t missed a beat and I’m happy with everything about it.
John Black –
The doorbell remote extensions were the perfect part for a large home where you could not here the doorbell.
William Badore –
we have a door bell that plays ding dong plus many other Melodys. Will it work for us?
Keith Riddell –
I set it up for my 87 year old client who is hard of hearing. He was very happy to be able to finally hear and see the doorbell in his tv room where he wears ear phones. The set up was pretty straight forward. Thanks, Keith
JohnS –
Purchased for my mom who is practically deaf, works great placed in her kitchen & with the strobe she can see & hear that the doorbell is being rung. Thanks for a great product that does not require an internet connection or subscription.
Georgette Billham –
We are very happy with our doorbell extender kit it was very easy to install compared to others we looked at works great.
Carolyn Rutherford –
Just what I needed for the media room. I could not hear either doorbell (front door nor back door). I can now hear and know which doorbell is ringing.
Rudy Mucciacciaro –
I’m a little disappoint since the transmitter in the LRA-EX1000S package was not able to be paired with the receiver; but, once I called the 1800Doorbell support line, they responded promptly and diagnosed an issue with the transmitter unit and are sending me a new unit without needing to return the defective unit (hence why on 4 star rating). Looking forward to receiving the replacement unit and hope it will work.
John Thayer –
Super simple install and set-up probably 5-10minutes start to finish. Worked first time…highly recommend.
Transmitter on main floor and receiver in basement- works flawlessly
Harold Roberts –
They helped me find the right item. They showed up and were easy to install. I highly recommend 1800Doorbell.
Customer –
no Christmas sounds for the Holidays?
Larry D… –
Wife & I seniors w/ some hearing loss. Door bell was between middle level doors & away from where wife & I usually are in upstairs office or down stairs studio, so wouldn’t hear. New extender now in studio area open to upstairs & lower level and works really well. Had a little problem programming door sounds, but 2nd try on front door & 3rd on middle back door worked & now easily recognizable. Love it.
Ronald N –
Needed a doorbell for my mom that she could hear and this works great. She can take it anywhere in the house or the back yard. Easy to install and the flashing light is a added bonus.
Antonio Chamblin –
Have not got the kit to work yet since the battery that comes with it was dead. Once I replace the battery I hope it works great.
Marie Mercado –
I ordered one of your door bell extenders a week or so ago,have not seen it yet.wondering?
Judy Agid –
Great installation instructions! I was very pleased with the instuctions for this product and how everything worked as it should. It is not very often that instructions are so clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend this product.
Customer –
Hi, is there possible to have LRA-EXTX paired with a receiver that can send a notification, sms or better to telegram to have it on the phone, in that case, i could easily reroute that notification while I’m not home to my neighbors so they can get my package for me.
Regards.
Philip G –
This works great and was just what I needed for my business. I added a Unifi Video Doorbell and needed a louder and longer chime. Since the Unifi is 16v and triggers a standard chime it worked great! Recommended!
Patricia Hughes –
I just love it. I had to hire someone to install it but well worth it.
Julie Klopsestein –
I replaced an extender unit, not wireless, that was battery operated and mounted on the wall close to my 10 foot ceiling. It required being on a tall ladder to change the batteries. I`m 87 and don’t do ladders. Your wireless unit mounted where where I can reach it was a great solution. However it’s sound is not quite as loud as my old unit, and the music isn’t as nice either. Also, I wish the sound played longer. That was disappointing. But it does work, and for that I am grateful. It did require an electrician to install it.

Arthur Davidson –
Doorbell flasher works great. Two flasher are used for two levels in the house. It was necessary to add 1/4″ plywood behind the transmitter to match the base thickness of the doorbell.
Robert –
This device was very simple to install in just a few minutes. Works exactly as described. Now we can hear the doorbell in our bedroom! Very happy with this and would recommend if you need to hear your doorbell where you can’t hear it now.
Gerald Lambert –
I purchased the extension doorbell for my father’s house. They sit in the garage and back deck much of the summer where they could not hear a doorbell if anyone came to the front door. Using LRA-1000S and then the extra receiver, I was able to install the extender easily and now when the front doorbell rings, it also rings in the garage and on the deck. I am very pleased with the purchase and got exactly what I was expecting. My stepmother even liked the different chimes and selected one that was appealing to her. 100% positive here! Thank you.
J. GORSKI –
Solved the problem of not hearing the door bell when on another floor. Works great & highly recommend.
James Casey –
Your extender did a great job in partnership with my SimpliSafe doorbell video cam. It is powered by a transformer and therefore compatible with your system. It’s doing a great job. Thank you
1800Doorbell –
Yes, the receiver will play “jingle bells.” You can hear the sounds here: https://secure.1800doorbell.com/lra-d1000-long-range-wireless-doorbell-w-1000-feet-range.htm
This kit shares the same receiver as the LRA-EX1000.
D.A. –
Finally, doorbell is now heard on all levels of the home. The extender with receiver was easily installed to update an antiquated doorbell ringer. An affordable solution that finally solved the doorbell problem!!!
Mike Delorenzo –
Worked great…..easy to hook-up
What else can I say!
Scott Goldstein –
How many LRA-DCRXS Receivers can I add to the LRA-EXTX Long Range Door Chime Extender? I’d need a total of 5 receivers – all would ring when exterior doorbell button is pushed.
Andrea Mitchell –
Does this product work with a Skybell mechanical doorbell? How do I order additional extenders, which model would you suggest?
Les Bolen –
Took a while to receive this in Canada from the U.S. but it came packaged well. We ordered an additional receiver so we could have one outside and one in basement. Transmitter instructions sent with unit were for LRA-PBTXA-L instead of the LRA-EX1000S that we ordered, but I was able to figure out how to install it. Seems to work well so far, the outdoor one is in a dry location, but we will see if it works in the extreme cold of Saskatchewan. Happy with it so far.
K. B. –
Mom wanted an auxiliary doorbell that she did not have to carry around, or recharge often. The doorbell worked with her existing chimes and was a ten-minute setup (by a non-handyman). With separate tones for the front and back bells, and the additional strobe option, she couldn’t be happier. She can detect the doorbell, even with the TV turned up! I bought a second unit for my basement. No more, “Was that the doorbell?” when I am in the rec room. If the bell is rung, you know it. Life changer for Mom and a step-saver for me.
Marty Henderson –
Added this to our front dooebell. Now it also rings upstairs so we can hear better.
Cheryl Milosch –
Will this work in a seperate building? We have a detached garage that we’d like to hear the doorbell at
Edward Martin –
The product did function as advertised
Cecilia Murray –
Is this capable of ringing when multiple walls are between the wired doorbell and the plug ins?
1800Doorbell –
The product has a range of up to 1,000 ft. from the transmitter (extender wired into chime) and the plug-in receivers. Each wall will reduce the transmission range of approximately 20% for each wall it has to pass through. This is an approximation as there could be other materials that could interfere, but this is a rule of thumb.
Kat –
Could not hear my doorbell in any of my rooms except my main room. This solved the problem. Sound a little “tinny” which is why I gave it 4 stars but I have not tried to other tones other than the default. Certainly loud enough. 1800 Doorbell customer service excellent.
Alan Perlman –
I’ve tried all sorts of wireless doorbells, Honeywell, etc and none worked well enough. The 1800 Doorbell Extender does the job perfectly. It’s a large home and this unit easily has the range for full coverage. Easy to set up and there are many options. It’s brilliant, I’m thrilled!
David Spike –
easy to install-works great! Thanks.
Michael Hart –
Was set-up for rear door. Called in and was directed how to set-up for front door. Works great now. Great customer service. Thank you.
Michael Gaetz –
I was always missing the doorbell and actually thought that I was not working but people at the door said they could hear it through the front door. I ordered the product and 2 of the plug-in-chime receivers. Chose this product because of the range being much further than others I looked at. Hooked it up for the family room and the basement. It works like a charm. I love the options on the receivers for the different chimes as well as the light, sound or both. I intend to order 2 more receivers so I can receive in the stand a lone garage and another location.
Christiane Kornfeld –
I am hear my doorbell thank you. Someone at your store helps us to install I. Than you
James Clement –
We have a wired doorbell and did not want to convert it to wireless. The wireless unit that attached to our wired doorbell and two of the pug in wireless doorbells to extend the ring allow us now to never miss another doorbell call. Works great. Easy to install.
Susan Frawley –
Will this work on a wired digital base as long as the digital base only plays a basic “ding dong” or does the base need to be mechanical? Thanks!
Rp –
Would I be able to hear the door bell from an upstairs office or bedroom.
J.T.1 –
Installed one for family member, had difficulty hearing the wired doorbell in the other room. With the extender in the primary living area, and the integral strobe light, it’s the ideal alert when someone now comes to the door. 👍
Bernice A Bishop –
The wired doorbell extender works as described. Delivers sound and strobelight to areas where we otherwise could not hear the doorbell. We put this one in our lower level, will buy a second one for our screened in porch.
Justin Strader –
Does this work with Vivint alarm system and their doorbell?
1800Doorbell –
Good morning. Unfortunately, the LRA-EX1000S is not compatible with any type of alarm system or video doorbell. The extender will only work with a wired, two note, mechanical chime. Thank you,

Kevin –
I have an existing wired in door bell.
I cannot hear it ring in two locations.
Please advise what I should buy.
Am I correct in believing that extension units plug directly into 240 power points?
Thank you in anticipation
Kevin
1800Doorbell –
Kevin,
Good morning. The LRA-EX1000S kit contains one transmitter that would connect to your wired chime and one plug in receiver. The receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet and the LRA series is compatible with an unlimited amount of additional receivers. If you wanted to hear the chime sound in two locations then you would want to purchase the LRA-EX1000S and an additional LRA-DCRXS receiver. Thank you,

Worked great
Catherine McDonald –
This is great! I can hear the doorbell anywhere in the house or the garage with this contraption.
Susan –
My old doorbell was not loud enough for me. Also my tv which is on a lot gives off lots of ringing tones for commercials where there are deliveries. Tv or my own door?
Now with your products I have an extra loud sound if my choosing and even though it had lots of pages of instructions for hooking up I was able to do it myself!! Now a rooster crows when somebody rings my doorbell . And i have other choices for sounds . Can’t confuse it with anything else. This is perfect and your representative Shawn was ready to help me if I needed it. ! I had to read all the instructions several times but it really was simpler than it looked
Thanks for helping me
Gerald Collins –
This really helps hearing the doorbell all across the house!
Jim Hulburt –
I have a Nest video doorbell that has a small device attached to the two-note mechanical doorbell. Will the transmitter interfere with the Nest device?
Anthony Scarlato –
Instructions very specific, very pleased with results and I am 86 years of age and have hearing loss. I was able to install it myself.
Janice Steininger –
Products arrived in record short time. I inadvertently oreder the LRA units AND the ERA units. I did not relaize that these TWO different technologies are NOT compatible. One simple call to their customer support resolved my mis-match and she gave me several options and easy to do tests at home. Buy this product and you will not regret your purchase. They do NOT use audio [sound] technology, rather radio signals, MUCH better.
Rainer G Obermann –
for years i have not heard my door bell but my recent purchases from 8000doorbell is so clear and loud that now i hear if anyone is ringing my doorbell
Brian Atkinson –
So far, this product has met my needs. I may need an additional unit for my basement

LRA-EX1000S-L Doorbell Extender that Helps Hear the Wired Doorbell In Your Home
Brad Sabo –
Easy to install and set up. I had it in and working in under 15 min. Nice loud “ringer” that installs anywhere you have an outlet. We can easily hear the doorbell in the basement now.
Luis Romero –
5 mins install. Just works. Loud.
Thelma Feely –
So pleased with extender. This grandmother installed it easily and now I won’t miss any more rings. Thank you for offering a great product.
Rick Willoughby –
Easy to install and works exactly as advertised!
Dennis Back –
Got two of them and they are great! Installed easily and functioned well. Using one in my basement and one in a sunroom which is outside the main house. Really glad I found these.
Customer –
Is this made in the US??
Joel Monahan –
We installed this on our delivery door so that we can hear and see when we have stuff arriving. It was simple to install, sounds great, and the light flasher is very helpful for when we need the ringer to be off! A great solution to covering a large distance between where our delivery door is and the office space that need the notifications of delivery!
William Acree –
My spouse is beginning to experience some hearing loss and misses calls form our existing ding-dong doorbell at our front door. This product has eliminated that problem. Easy to install if you have basic tools and are handy with simple electrical work.
PJ Bishop –
Who makes these extenders and where are they located.
Donald Senecal –
One reviewer said he used the transmitter with the SimpliSafe doorbell . Isn’t that wireless? How does that work?
RON HILLMER –
Will this extender system interfere with my Simplisafe alarm and video doorbell?
Lynn Goliber –
Not great sound quality. Serves the purpose in that the plug in at back of house so we are aware of doorbell now. We don’t need the light….. yet 🙂
Nice option.
RON HILLMER –
I had a little trouble installing this because two of the wires in my home doorbell apparently were reversed upon installation so I had to change from the red wire to the white wire and then the system worked so it’s not the systems fault. It’s whoever installed my doorbell when they built my house 40 years ago. This is well worth having. It gives me great peace of mind to know I can know when my doorbell rings when I’m in my basement or in my workshop. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
Customer –
I have a music doorbell that plays a variety of tunes. Will this work with that type of doorbell. If not do you have one that will?
