A Glimpse into Doorbells

Way back in 1931, when life was a tad simpler than it is today, a great scientist called Joseph Henry decided that the visitors coming to his home shouldn’t have to holler their heart out or get sore knuckles, courtesy continual tedious knocking on the large ornate wooden door, to inform him about their arrival. So he invented what was the first electronic doorbell, a smart yet efficient device. 177 years later, we pay tribute to him by creating what is the most complete and comprehensive website about doorbells and doorchimes.

A look back  at doorbells

Doorbells have evolved over the years and how. The first known doorbells were the ‘pull’ type where one had to pull a short handle or knob to make the bell ring. As man continued to look for more convenient ways to lead life, even a device as simple as the doorbell wasn’t spared. The ‘pull’ type doorbells were soon replaced by the ‘press’ type that we use today. Wired doorbells became more compact. They might soon be rendered obsolete by wireless doorbells. Customary tunes are now replaced by trendy chimes. Today, add on features and customization options have transformed the doorbell into an object of desire. There are models which are a perfect balance of aesthetic beauty and functionality. You can choose one that matches your interior décor, you can program up to 100 of your favorite songs in a doorbell, you can record your own voice as a chime, what’s more is that you can control the doorbell from virtually anywhere in the house. The days when doorbells were considered to be just another appliance for the home are long gone. Today, they are very much a part of the larger and more elaborate scheme of interior design.
