DIY Doorbell for Your Room

I found an old doorbell in the garage and decided to make my own personal doorbell for my room.  this is a  really easy project, and i took me like 5-10 minutes to do it.

Parts:

1.5-3v buzzer

wire

doorbell

AA or AAA 2-battery holder


Tools:

soldering iron

solder

screwdriver

screws

batteries

Take apart the doorbell. i only had 2 screws on the back that I had to unscrew. then take out the circuit board (optional, just easier for soldering). I used alligator clips to find which 2 points would work. When you find out what points work, then solder a wire to each spot. Now just put the doorbell back together.

Now solder the negative wire from the buzzer to the negative wire from the battery pack. then solder the positive wire from the buzzer to a wire coming from the doorbell and the positive wire from the battery pack to the other wire from the doorbell. I used heatshrink tubing to cover up the wires. Now just put in the batteries and test it out to make sure it works.

NOTE: I wired the wires backwards. You should hook up the red wires to the switch and not the black like i did.

I screwed the doorbell to the front of my door, then ran the wires to the back and screwed the battery back and buzzer in place. Finally I put electrical tape over the wires to make it look a little nicer and put batteries in the holder. (Later on I drilled a hole behind the doorbell and threaded the wire through it to the back to make it look better).

Here is a video  of me using my doorbell. I hope you enjoyed this instructable. please rate and comment. thanks for viewing :)
