  1. Ursi Chappelle –

    I don’t know yet.

  2. marylou chayes –

    This doorbell is just what I needed. Perfect! Loud!

  3. Joshua –

    Ordered the extra load version and works well but not that much louder than the original.

  4. Bruce Mount –

    We needed a very loud doorbell and this meets our needs, and looks good, also.

  5. Sheri Guthrie –

    I am looking for a louder doorbell chime for our office. Do you know decibel measurement for this chime?

  6. 1800Doorbell –

    Wired chimes do not have individual decibel ratings but all of them range between 40-60 decibels. This is the loudest wired chime that we carry.

  7. Donna –

    What is the decibel level of the doorbell ring?

  8. Pernickety –

    This doorbell is exactly what I needed and exactly as described. I can hear it loud and clear from every room in the house which is great considering my hearing is not what it used to be. Thanks for an excellent product!

  9. Kris –

    Do you have a db rating on this unit? I am looking for something that will operate in a 75db background noise area.

  10. Michael Wiener –

    CL-DW-SERIES Craftmade Very Loud 2 Note Wired Doorbell 2 Colors

  11. Richard W Graves Jr –

    This is the loudest doorbell ever. We live in a three story brick home and we can hear this doorbell anywhere in the house. And, it looks good. The doorbell arrived promptly and installed easily. We are very satisfied.

  12. Upstate NY –

    This doorbell is louder than a standard doorbell but not what I would classify as VERY loud or worth an additional $46 over a standard doorbell. Then again I am hearing impaired. Doorbell does function well and was easy to install using my existing wireing.

  13. Chris Mellor –

    *Edited* Lives up to its name, for sure, when coupled with the wireless extender unit. I’ve installed two of these kits so far for my hard of hearing elderly customers and the result has been wonderful. They are very happy they can hear their doorbells now!

  14. Amy Hersman –

    Can i use this product with a 24v transformer?

  15. 1800Doorbell –

    Craftmade recommends a 16V transformer. The wattage or Volt Amps can be 10VA, 15VA, or even 30VA.

  16. Linda Spiess –

    I can hear it! Fantastic! Much better than I expected!

  17. William Grattan –

    Very simple to install this replacement doorbell. The sound is loud as advertised and we enjoy it very much.

  18. Joe –

    I installed two of these for a 4,000 sq. ft. home, up and downstairs and can can go anywhere in the house and hear them perfectly, even with the TVs up loud. Thanks a lot Craftmade!

  19. David Deacon –

    Is the doorbell included with the doorbell chime?

  20. David Deacon –

    What is a wireless extender. Can I bit one from you?

  21. David Deacon –

    Will it work with my existing doorbell

  22. David Deacon –

    Is the volume adjustable

  23. 1800Doorbell –

    No, this is only the chime. Push buttons are sold separately.

  24. 1800Doorbell –

    The volume is not adjustable on the CL-DW hard wired doorbell. It is adjustable on a doorbell extender.

  25. Victor S. Olsen –

    Easy to install. Nice loud tone.

  26. Richard Speitel –

  29. Dave –

    My new 1800doorbell is great. My old doorbell was hard to hear. Thank you. Dave

  30. Michelle Boudreaux –

    As we’ve gotten older our hearing isn’t as good. This doorbell exceeded our expectations. Loud enough to hear over the television but not so loud as to be annoying.

  31. Kyle –

    Why would you advertise a loud doorbell and not give the decibel rating so my question iwhat is the decibel rating ?

  32. Jeffrey –

    Pleasant 2-tone chime. Maybe a little bit louder than my old chime, but not super loud. I was pleased with it and might buy a second to put in the basement.

  33. Luther Chrisp –

    Everything is great! Thank you very much!

  34. Eduardo Rosado –

    Very happy with my new door bell !

    Great doorbell for inside the house. Can be heard from downstairs to upstairs…our original doorbell had played it’s last note, so we replaced it with this one. Nice a clear sound…would definitely recommend to anyone…

  54. D.S. –

    It is louder than the old one. I hope it is loud enough!!

  55. AD1708 –

    I ordered a CL-DW Loud Ding-Dong Wired Doorbell chime that was shipped the next day 2nd day air delivery. It arrived on time well packed and was installed when it arrived. The unit works as described on the website. I will order from 1800Doorbell in the future.

  56. Nancy J –

    We have a big house and need to be able to hear the doorbell from all parts of the house. This doorbell does the job. Thanks.

  57. Alan Steinfeld –

    Can this be returned if it is not loud enough?

  58. Fred E Hagan –

    Works as advertised
    Definitely loud enough to be heard throughout the house
    After purchasing 3 big box store bells
    fianally got one that fits the bill.

  59. Tom Damiani –

    Says it needs a 16v Transformer. I’m assuming it does not come with one? If not, is there a specific one needed for this?

  60. Gayle Barrett –

    Louder than one it replaced. Pleasing chime.

  61. 1800Doorbell –

    Hi, yes, we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy, you can return it within 30-days. Beyond that, the manufacturer’s warranty applies.

  62. 1800Doorbell –

    Yes it is. There is a simple doorbell strike/plunger that hits a metal plate inside the doorbell cover the creates the sound.

  63. Linda Lillis –

    Can the door bell be installed vertical or horizonal or both

  64. Brent Collinsworth –

    The doorbell came one day before they said it would. I was very pleased with and easy to install very loud doorbell it is a nice thing for me to have cause I am hard-of-hearing. Best door for the money

  65. Customer –

    Where is this doorbell made?

  66. Jim H. –

    The doorbell was as described, it was bigger than the one I replaced, and worked louder, thank you.

    CL-DW Craftmade Very Loud Wired Doorbell in Two Finishes

  68. Innes Richards –

    One of your reviews said it was even better coupled with the extender unit. Do you sell this extender unit too?

  69. 1800Doorbell –

    We are referring to a “doorbell extender” which you can find here: https://secure.1800doorbell.com/doorbells/extenders/ The extender wires into a standard wired doorbell (the unit that typically hangs in the foyer of your home). If you already have a working wired doorbell, I would d recommend you get something like the LRA-EX1000S (https://secure.1800doorbell.com/doorbell-extender-kit-with-flashing-strobe-plug-in-receiver.htm) and not worry about installing a new wired doorbell.

  70. Virginia –

    Does outside bottom come with door bell

  71. Katherine Banks –

    How much is this door bell in white

  72. Toni K –

    Loud voice is always heard and so a loud Bell, great design and it looks like it is made for years to come and it was compatible with my google nest doorbell camera. Thank you.

  73. ReNae Christensen –

    Why do you say this doorbell is loud? It is NOT!

  74. Reginald Va3 –

    all that I expected and more. great product.

  75. Thomas Smith –

    I didn’t have much hope when I ordered this Doorbell. I tried others and they all were barely noticeable but to my surprise this thing actually lived up to it’s promise. The Metal dongs where the plungers hit are a lot larger than the usual doorbells. The installation was straight forward and Super Easy. Even a Caveman like myself could do it. Then came the test and sure enough I could hear a big difference and a nice loud traditional DING DONG. Now I don’t know if it is really 80 decibels but it is definitely louder and can be heard in the farthest room downstairs and in the Bonus Room upstairs. So after trying several traditional chimes only to return them, I finally found one that I will keep.

  76. JOW WATERS –

    When will they be back in stock?

  77. R Couch –

    Received doorbell in 3 business days. Took the old one down and installed new door bell and it worked great. Customer service was great to work with. I explained the situation and she gave me a recommendation that really worked.

  78. Jerry Wilson –

    Is the cover /unit paintable

  79. 1800Doorbell –

    The cover is constructed of ABS plastic. If you have the right paint, there’s no reason you couldn’t paint it.

  80. Walter Traynor –

    It is louder than the old one

  81. Thomas Drobycki –

    Loud as advertised.

  82. Customer –

    Besides the transformer, do i need a Wired Doorbell Button? If Yes, what transformer and Button do you recommend?

  83. 1800Doorbell –

    Good morning. A push button is not included with the chime, so you would need to purchase one. The recommended transformer would be the T1610 and any of our wired push buttons would work with this chime. I have included a link for our wired push button page below. Thank you,

    Loud and pleasant tone. Easy to wire. I replaced one that I could hardly hear it this one. I have a big house and needed it.

  85. vicki lester –

    I Love My New Door Chime, it was extremely easy to install and I haven’t missed a “ding” since.

  86. DB –

    Our doorbell chime is located in a back hallway far away from the front entry and was always difficult to hear. This doorbell takes care of the problem as it’s very loud compared to the older one it replaced. Easy to install – glad I bought it.

  87. John F. –

    I am replacing my doorbell because it is not compatible with my new security video doorbell, similar to the Ring. Are there any known compatibility issues with Video Doorbell push buttons?

  88. Vera H. Caryk –

    I chose this doorbell because of its vintage style. It has not been installed as our house is still under construction. However, I know I will not be disappointed as it will be the perfect accessory to our front entrance.

  89. Gary Robson –

    Ordered and received it in a few short days.

  90. Customer –

    Read somewhere that Craft made chimes require 18 AWG wire. I have 20 AWG on my current doorbell. Will this work?

  91. Luigi –

    What is the decibel?

  92. Joni Baird –

    Can this be used with Doorbell that has a camera?

  93. 1800Doorbell –

    Good morning. As long as the video doorbell operates off of a 16 volt transformer, the CL-DW should be compatible. It is always recommended to check your video doorbell’s wired chime compatibility list. Thank you,

  96. Jim Meisgeier –

    Good product! Very easy to install with the existing two wires. Nice looking white finish.

  97. James W. Shelton –

    It is sufficiently louder than the original, but ot as loud as I wanted. This was the only option.

  98. Sammy Bell –

    The door bell I replaced was installed in 1979 and had been painted to match the walls. The new door bell arrived promptly and had the exact cover. The new bell fit exactly like the old one and I just exchanged covers without having to have paint mixed.

  99. P Saunders –

    do any of your product have a db rating of 100 or near?

  100. 1800Doorbell –

    Good afternoon. Our loudest wired door chime is the CL-DW with a decibel rating of 80. We do have wireless products such as the ERA-PBDCR that have a range of 95-100. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you,

    I would like to use the ERA-EXKIT with this doorbell. The description mentioned that the transmitter can be hidden behind some doorbells. Does this doorbell have enough room to mount the transmitter underneath without having it show?

  106. Jim –

    Can I see a picture of under the cover where the wire comes through the wall into the base.

  107. 1800Doorbell –

  120. Customer –

    Finally – a doorbell that you can hear and it connects to old wiring in a 1920’s house. The old chime quit working and I bought 2 kits that were awful. Humming sound, only one chime worked etc. Get this one! By the way, the chime is nice and loud – but, not annoying.

  121. Stephen DeBock (verified owner) –

    Outstanding tone; perfect for hearing impaired (like us).

  122. Marie Bloom –

  123. 1800Doorbell –

    It was a perfect fit for my customer. She could hear it very well. We also discovered that the front/rear leads had been connected wrong, which I reversed, and now with the extra note she can hear it even better. The unit was an exact replacement to the original with the exception of the decibels.
