Q. Can two of these chimes be installed in parallel (one upstairs, one down) to run off a single transformer?
A. Hi Dee, thank you for your question. The transformer would need to have twice the capacity 2A for two chimes to function without damage to the transformer as each chime needs around 1A.

Q. we have had d454 for over 30 years which is battery operated, If we purchase a new one is it wired ready for use or does it have to be assembed by an electrician.
A. Hi Sally, thank you for your question. It will need some wiring in as explained in the installation instructions.

Q. I want to replace a Friedland door chime of a very similar design (but in black plastic casing and gold disc) which I bought in the 1970's: the solenoid doesn't work. Is this the same model - which we liked very much because of its traditional sound. Is it the same 'ding-dong ? Will the old black / gold outer casing fit 23-5732 ?
A. Hi James. Thank you for your question. Although we can not guarantee the housings will interchange as the tooling may have changed over the years however it can be set to the traditional ding-dong chime.

Q. is this the one that emits a continuous ding dong ding dong etc for as long as the bell push is pressed ?
A. Hi David. Thank you for your question. There are 2 sounds. In one mode the bell goes ding when you press and dong when you let go. In the other sound mode it will repeat the ding dong for as long as the button is held down.

A. Hi Erika. Thank you for your question. This price does not include a transformer - but it can be run from 4 x C cell batteries. Friedland recommend a D753 (23-5762) or D780 (23-5765) transformer to go with this unit.

Pricey, but quality

When a customer's old black and gold chime packed up, he insisted that something "just the same" was installed. Fortunately, this unit is exactly the same style and sounds the same as his old 70's unit. While it is quite expensive, compared to other bell systems on the market, it fulfilled our requirements.

A decent volume at last!

We used to have a doorbell like this before we decorated and decided to replace it with one of the smaller ones with a choice of ringtones... bad idea! After missing so many visitors and parcel deliveries due to not being able to hear the bell, we searched high and low for a decent sounding one with no joy. Finally we came across Rapid and ordered an up to date version of our old one. It might be a bit bigger than the pony little excuse for a bell that was annoying us so much, but now we can hear that good honest "ding dong" again! I would highly recommend Rapid as they were very quick on delivery and the item was very well packed...Well done!
