Shopkeeper's Bell Door Chime for Business When Entering - Bell Opening - Solid Brass Metal Opening Business - Door Entry Chime Bell Ringer - Business Entry Bell

Adorable bell and loud for such a little thing! (Not too loud, just right.) Parts are substantial and simple to attach to the door. Purchased for my 80-year-old mother's addition on our house so she'll know when we come in. She loves it! It's nice to have a simple, well-made item that will last, vs. technology (wireless alarm, etc.) that will fail in a month/year...

Nothing like a vintage bell to announce customers. I was growing tired of the electronic music doorbell and wanted something I noticed in an old bookstore. This one is metal and a fine material and has a clear ting to the ring. It looks nice and I have received compliments on my selection. Never would have thought that.

Nice ring! We really like this! And an interesting side note is that our indoor cat who always rushes the door does not like it and is leaving the door alone.

They work well to alert you of customers but when you have people in front of you it makes you regret putting them on. Its easy to place on the door but not too large. They have lasted well with fairly heavy traffic.

It's a nicely made bell, solid brass, and louder than I thought it would be. It's perfect for the front door of our small museum, and it'll let us know that someone came in. One major flaw with this bell is the way the clapper is attached. The clapper had a couple small loops of soft wire connecting it to a small bracket screwed to the top inside the bell. The loops are so soft that a gap opened up and the clapper had detached itself in transit. Rather than return this bell, I just unscrewed the bracket inside the bell, connected it with the clapper with a small keyring, and screwed the bracket into the bell. Now I am certain that the clapper will not come out when it's in use. See my pictures for details.

I love this more than I even thought I would! I put it outside on my front garden gate - anytime anyone comes to the front door I get a charming ding-ding-ding letting me know someone entered my yard, or the mail is delivered. Delightful. My neighbors love the tinkling bell too. I live by the beach in a Cape Cod house and this is so cute!! NO issues with discoloring and I've had it up a year. Works absolutely perfectly.

So we bought two shopkeeper’s bells for our German Shepherd to ring when he wants to go outside and when he wants to come back in. For indoors, I just bought a cheap 5.99 one because it was all I needed to get the job done. But I was concerned it wouldn’t be loud enough for me to hear if it was rung outside, so I shopped around and stumbled across this gem. Sure, it cost 5x as much as the other one, but you get what you pay for: this one is built better, rings louder, rings longer, and because it’s solid brass, the sound quality is much nicer than the inexpensive one and inclement weather will not cause it to rust. So all in all, I’m very satisfied with this melodic little bell.

A $25 bell (one of the more expensive ones on Amazon) should send decent brass screws. The package included 3 of the weakest aluminum screws, painted to look like brass that they could find. I drilled pilot holes and All 3 screws broke when I tried to screw them in. Please spend 5 or 10 cents more per item and send decent hardware to avoid frustration when installing the bell.

Makes a ringing sound like a bell

Brilliant but smaller then the picture portrays

It is not good quality the black band holding the bell is very thin and bends easily. Doesn’t hold position.
