Hi all,

I have just bought a flat and have noticed that the intercom does not
work properly.

I live in a block of six flats and the buttons at the front door has a
metal plate with 6 buttons on it (one for each flat). The phone part
in my flat has the receiver part, the button to 'buzz' people into the
building and a privacy switch.

When someone presses the button for my flat, my intercom 'buzzes' and
I can let them into the flat (if I have it on privacy there is no
sound when someone presses the button). So all these parts are
working fine.

The problem comes when you lift the reciever and talk. The person at
the front door can not hear me and I can not hear them. Also the
button that the receiver presses when I hang up is missing.

I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is easy to replace the
handset only and where I could get one relatively cheap?

All the ones I have found so far come with their own doorbell to go at
the main entrance or are a wireless intercom.

Can anyone help please

Thanks and regards

John


Can you find a manufacturer's name on the unit?

If so, you might be able to contact them for service info and repair parts.

If not, and there's an owner's association for the building, maybe they
have a clue as to who has maintained them in the past.
