Product Description
The Magneto Door Bell is a classic, wired doorbell that uses an electromagnetic mechanism to produce a distinctive ringing sound, often described as a "ding dong" or jangle. Constructed with a durable ABS plastic or metal housing, it features an internal magneto (electromagnet) that drives a clapper to strike a bell or gong, creating a clear, audible chime. Designed for reliability, it operates on low voltage (typically 8–16V AC via a transformer or battery-powered, depending on the model). Ideal for homes, offices, or small businesses, its nostalgic design and robust performance make it a timeless choice for entryway alerts.
