If you are wondering what purpose those non electric door chimes serve, you are probably not the only one. This throwback to the “good old days” often puzzles anyone who comes within arm’s reach of the bell. Consider back in the days when homes lacked electricity, lighting, heating, and cooking was all powered by gas or wood. The doorbell in modern homes is powered by electricity, but how did people announce their presence? Knocking was one way, but the gadget loving Victorians soon thought up of a better way, the non electric door chimes. These door chimes can still be found through specialty catalogs and shops today, but what in the world would you do with them?
For starters, consider installing non electric door chimes to any space that could benefit from a system that alerts the occupant of visitors. These places includes apartments and dorm rooms, where you certainly cannot wire a door bell to the wall, but find a door chime could come in handy. These chimes are easy to install and will not make you sacrifice your security deposit, the choice is seemingly obvious. In addition to allowing you to know exactly when someone is visiting you, the novelty factor of having non electric door chimes is one reason why they are so popular. If your home is shared with a pre-teen or teenager who needs not only their space, but also their privacy, consider gifting them with non electric door chimes. Again, the installation process is quick and easy so that you will not require any additional wiring or holes drilled into the woodwork. Your youngster will be thrilled with their new doorbell, as anyone who wants to pop in for a visit has the opportunity to be invited into their inner sanctum. Soon, every child in the house will be asking for door chimes for their bedroom doors. You can find non electric door chimes at most specialty hardware stores and maybe even some national brand home improvement warehouses. Depending on your location, these items may need to be ordered by the shop. The selection may be limited, but at least you can walk away with something in your hand and avoid paying shipping and handling fees. If this is the case, turn to home renovation catalogs or specialty websites to find a wide selection of quality non electric door chimes available for reasonable prices. Non electric door chimes are a perfect gift for anyone who is seeking more privacy or just wants a good giggle. Consider installing a tongue in cheek door chime on your bathroom doors so that no one intrudes on another member of your family and avoid the embarrassing moments. Consider using a non electric door chime at the foot of a finished basement or attic so that you can notify the occupants without having to trudge up and down steps.
