Carlon DH994 Mechanical Entry Alert Door Chime

Product Information

The Mechanical Entry Chime DH994 is a door chime that can be used on doors that open in or out, and with wood or metal door frames. The chime operates magnetically, making a sound as the door opens and the chime magnet pulls away from the door frame or metal disc, causing the magnet to hit the chime bar. The product comes with a limited warranty against defects in workmanship and materials.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Choose the installation type based on whether the door opens in or out.
2. Position the mounting plate on the inside of the door so that the top of the plate is aligned with the top of the door. Mark screw locations.

4. Align the mounting plate and chime with marked screw locations and secure to door with provided #10 x 1-1/4 long screws.
