Doorbell help
 

I've started working at home at the back of the house and can't hear the
doorbell. The bell is mains powered and the ringer sits in the fuse box
cupboard above the front door. What is the easiest way to rig something
up so I can hear it in my home office?
thx

You could replace the bell with a wireless system and re-site the ringer
so you can hear it throughout the ground floor.

Some wireless systems have a portable ringer that you can carry around
the house with you.

Use a doorbell extender. It is a transmitter wired into the wired
circuit which transmits to a radio doorbell which can either be battery
or mains powered.

Something like this

I have a Friedland kit which is reliable and works well over 15m through
two block walls

You need an intercom so you can shout at people not to leave - if it's
that far you can't hear it they'll just go before you get there.

Good idea - is there a wireless one I can just bolt by the door?

I can get at the wires to the bell - is this where I need to wire in a
sender?

Yes - can't remeber exactly. There are three terminals in the extender
and two connect to the bell. As I said the instructions are clear.
This is the ref to the Friedland site - cant quickly find any
instructions but this pdf contains the info on the extender
