What Eexactly is the DC1 EZ-Tone?

The DC1 is a self-contained, mechanical entrance alert - meaning it requires no electricity. There are two basic components of the kit: the box chime itself and the magnetic disk. The "box" is the brown box as shown in the image. Inside, the box contains a plunger with spring, and a metallic strip. The second part is a small magnetic disk, about the size of a silver dollar, with a magnet inside the disk.  The brown box is mounted on your door frame which makes the plunger (it protrudes out of the box) connect to the magnet on the disk.  As the door opens, the spring on the plunger allows it to stretch, until a point where the tension is stronger than the magnet.  At that point, the stretched out spring recoils and makes the plunger strike the metal strip inside the box.  This results in a gentle, but loud, "tone" that you can hear in an area up to 2,000 ft.

A Brief History of the EZ-Tone Entry Alarm

In the 1980's, our company founder, Lord Henry, started selling the EZ-Tone Entry alert chime. At the time, this was a revolutionary product for commercial businesses to receive instant alerts that a visitor has entered their facility.

At that time, other than expensive alarm systems, the only way to know when someone entered your facility was to mount something like a "Shop Keeper's Bell" over the door. The opening door would hit the brass chime hanging over the door and this would alert a manager or store clerk.

The problem with these types of systems was they tended to be a little whimsical for everyday use and weren't really loud enough to hear unless you were standing right next to the door. In the mid 80's a revolutionary product was created, the DC1 Ez-Tone door chime.

Thirty years later, 1800doorbell.com (a Lord Henry Company) continues to offer the DC1 as one of 8 licensed distributors of the product worldwide. Since the 1980's we have sold over 100,000 DC1's and they continue to be one of our best-sellers. Although the product may be used in residential environments, it is most widely used in commercial spaces.

Some of our customers:

  • Subway franchises
  • Circle K
  • KFC
  • USPC
  • Family Dollar
  • and more!

After many years, the EZ-Tone door chime continues to be one of the biggest selling entrance alerts of all time!
