On our new house, we need a new doorbell. I was thinking of going the vintage route and using an old bell (similar to a dinner bell). Would it be loud enough to hear inside though? I wonder if i could mount the bell inside and have a pull string of some sort outside.
I have 3 doorbells in my house because I can't hear the doorbell upstairs or in the garage. So living room, upstairs, and in garage. These are all wired along with the button and transformer. If I leave my back door open, I can hear the garage doorbell in my back yard.
Also I have a note asking people to ring the doorbell - says that the door will NOT be answered if they knock because I can't hear it!
Keep in mind that you mount that particular bell on the inside door. So if you have a storm/screen door the visitor will have open it.
Also, most people have no clue what it is.
