## Description

desertcart.com Heath Zenith's 96/M-B door chime is intended for hardwired installation, and may be used with one or two doors. It features two distinctive chimes, one for the back door and one for the front, so you'll know which door to head to. Powered by 16-volt AC transformer, sold separately (see Heath Zenith accessory #121AC-A).--Josh DettweilerWhat's in the BoxChime, hardware kit Product Description Your old chime buzzes, hums, or went completely silent after you installed a new Ring, Nest, or Skybell doorbell. That's exactly what this wired mechanical chime is built to solve. The Heath Zenith wired mechanical doorbell chime replaces aging or incompatible chimes in minutes using your existing low-voltage wiring. No new wiring runs, no battery swaps, no app setup. Two solenoid-struck metal bars produce the clean ding-dong tone most people grew up hearing. Wire both a front and back door button independently to get distinct tones at each entry point. For best results, mount the unit vertically and verify transformer output meets the 16VAC-10VA minimum. The doorbell button and transformer are sold separately. Test the chime before installation day closes your return window. Backed by a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Review: Good chime - This chime replaced an old Heath Zenith chime and the footprint was not as large as the old one so the mounting holes were different but overall it was easy to install. It has a clear and pretty loud chime.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this chime work with the Ring doorbell?**
A: Yes

**Q: will it work with 18VAC?**
A: My 18V adapter is working. The manual is confusing. In the installation instructions (on pg. 2) it says transformer rating must be 16 Volt AC, 10 or 15 wattt. But in the troubleshooting area (pg. 4) it says to "test the output of your transformer with a volt meter. Voltage should read 18 - 22 volts AC on the low voltage side of the transformer when chime is NOT playing."  "If volt meter reads below 18 volts, replace the transformer."  I am using my 18VAC adapter to also power a Nest Hello Doorbell. Everything is working.

**Q: Why would it last just over 3 months, then started buzzing and ringing in the middle of the night.**
A: Sounds like your transformer may have a problem.  Remember, this low voltage, not regular 120v.  It also could be a problem with your doorbell.  Try changing that first since its a simple and cheap fix.

**Q: Is this white plastic cover paintable?**
A: Use an adhesive primer whenever spray painting anything especially if it's pliable. The more plastic moves the greater the need for adhesive primer. Not necessary for the door bell chime that's indoors and not moving.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good chime
*by L***R on July 13, 2026*

This chime replaced an old Heath Zenith chime and the footprint was not as large as the old one so the mounting holes were different but overall it was easy to install. It has a clear and pretty loud chime.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great
*by G***Y on August 13, 2026*

Works great simple install

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Blink Doorbell Compatibility
*by A***R on June 18, 2026*

Basic and generic doorbell chime. I bought it to replace the old chime installed in my house which are not compatible with Smart doorbells (I have a Blink Doorbell and it would make a buzzing sound). This one works perfect, looks basic, was easy to mount and the material is adequate. Best of all, no annoying hum coming from the low electric signal being sent from the Blink Doorbell.
