I found that the ones I bought from B&Q have a range of about 5 meters
and that is providing there is only one wall between bell push and the
ringer. So unless you have a very small garden in direct line of sight
of the bell push wandering round the garden is not possible with the
cheaper models.

The ones I bought from B&Q came in 2 versions - one for short distances
and the other for long distance. I have one of each (bell) with one
doorswitch and the long distance bell works fine in the workshop through
four walls. On testing it worked OK to the middle of the field behind the
house.

Just got to go out so a very hurried reply )

Thanks for all replies to my query - some interesting points there. I do
need one with a decent range but I intend to screw it to the wall as I
don't want tenants losing it or leaving it out in the rain - not that all
tenants are like that, of course, but I do know some who are. The only
reason I want cordless is so that I don't have to run wires all over the
place.

Anyone suggest a make and model though? B&Q have been mentioned but is it
their own brand? I've seen adverts for MK Libra - they any good?

Mine have Doorman written on them - but no clear make/model.
