The main function of a bell is to be heard by the occupants of the house. That is why we recommend the bronze bells which sound lens is easily noticeable by all. Bell founders for more than 200 years, the Paccard Foundry uses genuine bronze (brass), noble alloy of copper and tin, also known as the "bronze bell" to ensure proper tone and rich tone also linked  to the profile (shape of the bell).
Tinted or swinging or set

You have two ways to ring a mounting door bell :
          - Either by ringing: the small cord at the bottom of the clapper allows you to hit it on the inner part of the bell;
          - Or by swinging the bell through the mechanism for oscillating the bell on its axis. The clapper in moving with the bell and will strike opposite sides of the interior of the bell, alternately.
From experience, a "call bell" setting will a swinging way is  better heard if the occupants of the house are away from the door or gate

Here are our top tips to help you buy a door bell or portal sites on our online store:


At the door

If you need to just hear inside the house from outside,  the door bell with fixed mount is perfect. However, if you have a big house, we will advise a bell diameter Ø160mm with its gooseneck or larger.

At the gate for an house with a little garden
If the house is not so far from the gate,  the door bell wuth oscillating mount be convenient and you can place slightly inside on a pillar of the portal leaving the stainless steel chain available ( vidéo d’exemple).

The owners of a large house or mansion wanting to be heard by children or grandchildren without the remote area, the choice will be on a standard bell (or otherwise) of a Ø230 to 270mm diameter.
