Description
At first glance, this may look like an ordinary wired door chime. But what sets this Craftmade wired doorbell apart from its peers is the quality of the sound generated. Just like most of its counterparts, it is a two-note doorbell, playing a two-note sound for the front door and a one-note sound for the second door.
The difference is the great sound that this chime produces. Most wired chimes have an internal plunger that strikes a small plate inside the wired door chime cabinet to produce the sound. This product’s chime sound travels through the two tubes, creating a richer sound than you hear on other products.
Each chime features two pewter or slightly antique pewter tubes located on each side of the chime, with a solid plastic front plate available in the three finishes below:
CTPW-W has a white finish
CTPW-DW has a designer white finish
CTPW-RG has a rustic gold finish
Please note, each monitor is slightly different and the colors you see on this website may not accurately depict the actual product color.
- Manufactured by Craftmade
- Ding-Dong for the front door, Ding for the second door
- Wired door chime
- 16V doorbell transformer is required
- 1-year manufacturer’s warranty
- Dimensions are 2.2” x 7” x 8.4”
The CTPW chime by Craftmade are more decorative and produce a richer sound than many other wired doorbells. If you have a wired doorbell button and a chime transformer in your home, setup is easy. Simply replace your current wired doorbell with this one, and connect it to the chime transformer and wired push button to have your new chime up and running. If this is a new door chime installation, please ensure you have a 16 volt transformer and a push button to complete the system.










Greg Cheli –
1800 doorbell representatives were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I recently installed the Chime and it is absolutely fantastic. I will recommend 1800 doorbell to anyone who is looking to install a new doorbell and/or chime.. Thank you again!
Michael Trabue –
The entire order arrived on time and the products were as described. The chime sounds great and is more aesthetically pleasing than anything I could find in a big box store. Thank you.
Cassandra Moreau –
Can the uni be placed horizontally rather than vertical? I donât have the room fo verticals.
mark hermerding –
I’m interested in your CTPW but want to see the different finishes. I click on them but nothing.
Denis McGuirk –
Very happy to replace our generic doorbell that failed, with a new 1800Doorbell. The sound is very full, and we are much more likely top hear it. Very pretty sound!
Barbara –
Can this product be hung horizontally instead of vertically? I ask this because I am replacing an existing doorbell kit where the chimes unit was hung horizontally, and it would be easier if I don’t have to touch up the paint that won’t be covered by the new chimes unit. (I am replacing it because the existing doorbell kit was fried by a power surge.) Thanks.
1800Doorbell –
This chime can only be hung vertically.
Susan J –
White versus designer white? Which is the lighter, whiter color?
Amanda Willette –
Does this work with Arlo or Ring wired doorbells?
1800Doorbell –
Good morning. Ring.com has a listing of compatible Craftmade chimes and the chimes listed are:
C102X2L, CBB-PR, CH1202-DO, CH1405-PT, CH1415-OBG, CH5202-DO
Arlo’s website states:
The Arlo Audio Doorbell is compatible with AC-powered mechanical and digital chimes operating between 8-24 volts.
All of our chimes operate off of 16 volts. Since we do not carry Ring or Arlo products, this is the only information we have access to. Please contact Ring or Arlo for any additional information. Thank you.
peter skoutas –
Great item for the price.
Ingrid Hsu –
Item was promptly shipped, arrived quickly. Smooth installation, great sound. Typical “ding-dong” tones, loud and clear.
Richard Spadoni –
Easy to install. Unique sound. Would purchase again.
John Schwab –
Does it really sound like the digital recording or is that sample merely a “simulation”?
1800Doorbell –
Good afternoon. The sampling of the chime is a recording of the actual chime sound. Thank you,
Customer Support Team
Nancy Albertson –
A very easy and pleasant ordering experience. The women I spoke with were very thoughtful as well.
alisie –
The doorbell is great! Love the sound it’s not too loud and obnoxious but we can hear it clearly even in the Florida room addition at the very back of the house. The shipping is very fast and did I mention that the customer service is outstanding? Our doorbell stopped working and we looked all over for the right trying to find something similar and we were so thrilled to find this one along with 800 Doorbells!
Jim –
We recently installed a RingDoorbell and when you touch the door bell the. Chimes ring followed by a buzzing sound. I believe I understand why this happens but rather than install a resistor, I am thinking of getting a new door chime which would not buzz after the Ring Doorbell is activated. What should we buy? Thanks

The kit reads door bell only. Does this require a transformer also? If so can the transformer be hidden within the unit itself?

Denna Mclaughlin –
About how many decibels does the Cptw great sound wired chime w/ pewter chimes?
Thank you
Barry Allen –
Has a much much better sound than our original chime. Also installed a new transformer to get the correct voltage. The chime looks are very good (RG color), a huge improvement. I also installed an Arlo Video Doorbell, which works wonderfully with the chime.
Karen Ellis –
Easy set up good sound
Mary Weston –
The top of the electrical box holding my transformer is only two inches from the crown molding. Will this be adequate space for mounting this unit?
Julia W Buyck –
Is this doorbell loud, I hope? My browser does not support the sound of it. I live in a large “old” house.
1800Doorbell –
The CTPW would not be any louder than a standard wired doorbell but it would have a richer tone. Our loudest wired door chime is the CL-DW series with a decibel rating of around 80 decibels, a regular door chime would be around 40-60 decibels. Thank you,

Christopher Jensen –
Can this doorbell work with a 24 volt transformer? I see the instructions only list a 16 volt transformer.
Julie Peterson –
Exactly what I needed. Two chimes for front door, one chime for back. Very lovely. The first one came with a flaw on the pewter chime, but another was sent immediately, at no charge, and it is perfect. Great Customer Service!
Donna Palange –
I am interested in this chime however, where does the transformer placed? Is it mounted to the back of the chime? This would replace an existing wired door chime. Thanks.
William Powell –
I have a transformer that is 24V, 40VA. The current chime i have says it is compatible with a 16-volt/10 VA or 16-volt/15 VA transformer.
I would like to find a chime that is compatible with this transformer.

This was a replacement for my old door chime. This sounds so much better than my old one. Glad I found you.
Ed and Karen Mahoney –
I replaced an expensive Nutone doorbell that wasn’t giving the dong (just the ding), even after I switched out the transformer. This doorbell gives a nice ding-dong sound, its slightly louder than our old doorbell. The tubular look is sleek and expensive looking. Super easy to install. I recommend this doorbell.
1800Doorbell –
No, it is not recommended. That much voltage will cause the hammer to strike with more force than designed. Overtime it will wear out the components.
1800Doorbell –
Most homes will have a wired doorbell transformer installed in the garage or in the attic. Sometimes they are a little hard to find. But no, this DOES NOT have a transformer and you would need one for this wired doorbell to work correctly.
1800Doorbell –
No, the manufacturer does not recommend this. The plunger will strike with more force than it was designed to use. The manufacturer states you should use a 16V transformer.
MJW –
Very nice chime. Great sound. Nice quality. I am happy with it.
Patricia Abram –
Lighted doorbell good sound.
Lilly Caballero –
Does this work with a ring doorbell?
1800Doorbell –
This is a fairly standard door chime that plays a ding-dong sound, so in theory, the answer is yes. However, you need to make sure you have a large doorbell transfer, something like the DH910 https://secure.1800doorbell.com/gbase-dh910.htm

We just installed the doorbell. My husband did it relatively easily. It sounds great. Kind of a deeper toned chime then a standard doorbell. It looks good with our newly painted white walls. It isn’t super noticeable, which is what we were going for.

Would you be able to help us figure out the manufacturer of an interior doorbell cover? There is a model # inside the cover but no mfg info.

Can provide pics but there is no option here for doing so. Thank you!

D. Williams –
1800 Doorbell! was a great buying experience and shipped my order quickly so I would buy from them again. I purchased a Lorex doorbell camera that was not compatible with the original 40+ year old Nutone doorbell in my home. I chose this doorbell as a replacement because it was on the Lorex approved compatibility list and had the most positive reviews, plus it blends well with our interior. Unfortunately, my old Nutone doorbell did not have any wallpaper behind it and this doorbell would not physically cover up the same wall area so my son 3-D printed a custom white backplate as shown in the photo which looks nice as if it came with the doorbell. This doorbell is intended to be mounted vertically because the tubes enhance the sound which may not be as loud if you mount it horizontally although the installation instructions are not specific. I also installed a new T1630 transformer and highly recommend it if you are installing a doorbell camera. Overall I’m pleased with this doorbell purchase and hope it provides years of good trouble free service.
Glenn C. –
The chime is working great 👍.

Benjamin Henning –
We recently installed a Ring Doorbell Pro 2 and needed a new transformer. I installed a 24V/40VAC since we also have a doorbell for the back door and Ring advised to go with 24/40 rather than 16V if we want to run 2 Ring doorbells. Will this chime work with a 24V transformer?
NonE –
Does this have a volume control? Or any way to adjust the loudness?
NonE –
On 5/31/22 you said this was between 50-60 decibels.
On 1/10/22 you said it was estimated at 80 decibels.
On 1/21/21 you said it was about 40-60 decibels.
Which is it? Thanks
1800Doorbell –
No, the wired doorbell does not have a way to adjust the volume.
Jesse Poganik –
I wanted to replace my very old doorbell with a similar model, and this fit the bill exactly. Shipping was fast and installation was easy. The doorbell sounds great and looks great.

My problem is that my existing doorbell doesnât work with my doorbell camera that is supplied by my alarm monitoring company and they tell me that the problem is that my doorbell is too old and not capable of supporting the doorbell camera.

I ordered a replacement doorbell chime (satisfied with the tone after preview on the website—great feature). It arrived quickly and was exactly as advertised. Upon determining that the chime was not the problem, however, I called to return the item and order a replacement that will better meet the need. I reached a live person immediately, who handled the return and reorder efficiently. Highly recommend.
Greg Lattner –
We ordered and installed the “CTPW Great Sounding White Wired Chime with Pewter Tubes” and it does indeed sound great! It is fun to receive visitors with a better sounding doorbell than the old standard doorbell that came with our house! We also bought and installed a new “DH1201 Doorbell Light Bulb Center Push Button Replacement Part” because the old one was completely worn out and working only intermittently. The push button fit inside the old brass plate. I had to squeeze the springs that hold it in place, with pliers, in order to get it to go into the plate, but it fit in perfectly when the springs/tangs were squeezed together! What a great addition to our house! We are very pleased with the purchase!
