Is the chime kit cover made of plastic or metal?
1800Doorbell –
It is made out of ABS, which is essentially a heavier duty plastic.
Benjamin Nelson –
Looks like a doorbell sounds like a doorbell.
Customer –
Can this be used with a Google (Nest) Video doorbell? We need a new transformer/doorbell chime and I’m assuming this will work because of the 16V transformer….. these are what their instructions say:
Requirements
You need a transformer that is rated for 16-24 V AC, 10-40 VA to provide enough power to your doorbell. If you’ve already installed your doorbell and you see a blinking yellow light on the front, your doorbell isn’t receiving enough power.
1800Doorbell –
Good morning. Usually with video doorbells, you would need a 16 V, 30 VA transformer so we would recommend purchasing the chime in the CK1001 kit (CH1000, which is compatible with a video doorbell) and then adding the T1630. We have included the links for these products below but please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you,

The doorbell itself seems well made, and it works fine. The installation instructions, however, were terrible. Also, I bought what I thought was a complete kit. Which it was, mostly. I did have to buy my own wire. Not a huge deal, but had I known that, I would have been more prepared.
