Description
Maybe you only want to notice your doorbell when there is a visitor at your door! The CB-REC is a recessed doorbell chime that you can paint to match any décor. Once this doorbell is recessed into your wall, it almost looks like an air-conditioner vent. The doorbell is shipped in a matte-white finish, which is attractive itself but is also paintable to match your walls or decor.
Perfect doorbell for office or any other environment where you don’t want people to notice your doorbell, the product cover is an off-white, matte finish plastic cover that looks more like a cooling vent rather than a door chime. Once recessed into the wall, you can paint this doorbell to match any wall color or decor.
Because of the styling of this recessed doorbell chime, it tends to be a little louder than most standard doorbells. The inner workings of this doorbell are the same as most others, but most wired doorbells have a solid cabinet. This one features a grille cover allowing sound to escape more easily.
Example of Chime Recessed Into the Wall
This image, submitted to us by a customer, demonstrates how this chime is recessed directly into the wall. It is located just behind the piece of furniture and looks like an air vent.

I am looking for a Nutone replacement door chime wall cover; the plastic cover only. The size is 9×8 and has a recessed chime. Got one?

Great communication from company
Eric S –
Didn’t like our bulky doorbell placement and switching out with an almost identical unit except for the fit and mounting was much better than trying to move the original one.
The price was great and the shipping was amazingly fast for the standard delivery option.
Looks great and was fairly easy to install.

All went well with the ordering process. The chime was what I expected. Had a couple of questions for customer support — they answered promptly and had the answers. Can’t ask for much more.

I ordered a recessed door bell Chime, for one of my clients, I’m going to install it soon, but I can see it’s a great product since I chose the recessed type. Thank you for that.

It was time to remove my old intercom system – but I still needed a door bell. I installed a CB-REC on each floor using some of the old
intercom wiring and they work nicely. The recessed unit looks great considering today’s clean-wall trend.
