Could you not buy two identical bell + push kits which are designed to
be paired, then just pair both bells to the one push?

Most of the new ones are digital so just buy two and set them to the
same code. Argos have some twin packs or a home and garden one:
Friedland Home and Garden Kit.

Thanks, but plug in/thru are no good.

Thats the opposite to what I want. I need 1 button, 2 chimes.
Thanks anyway.

Never though of Argos, cheers.

The code setting finished long ago, they use a pairing procedure
instead.

The original Lidl unit worked fine but the ringer unit was so far from
the bellpush that callers complained they couldn't hear the tune.
Figured the Tx/Rx frequencies would be identical, so when they next
turned up I just bought two more identical sets and placed one ringer
in the kitchen near the door to give visitor 'sidetone' and the other
two ringers in the furthest parts of the house. (with individual
melodies :)

Since the connection is one-way, there's no reason a push can't be paired
up with multiple ring units...
I bought some wirless units off TLC recently and although we just have
the one ringer, I did consider a 2nd and the thought that it wouldn't
work didn't occur to me...
The pairing procedure is fairly trivial too - you set the ringer to
"listen" then push the button.. I suspect they just listen for the next
button being pushed and remember that buttons code.

Are the doorbells for you or do you really have a customer that is so
useless that you get paid to install a wireless doorbell?

Even getting things out of blister-packs can be difficult for older
people with arthriticky fingers.
Anyway, you wouldn't object if some dumb blonde asked you to give her
a ding-dong in two rooms of the house.

It is strange what the old folks can and cannot do when they want to.
I remember visiting my Grandma who suffered from arthritis and could hardly
walk and was unable to stand without help. I knocked down and killed a rabit
on the journey to her house. She skinned, gutted and cooked the rabbit in no
time. I could even see a glint of life twinkling behind her cataracts whilst
her supposedly useless hands ripped the fur from the meat.

No I would not object.

Bought one from B&Q a few months back, came with 2 ringers, a plug in
one, and a battery powered one ... can't recall the make (at work now)
'bout £15 ...

I can confirm that this works. For example all Friedland 'Evo' and
'Decor' wireless chimes are compatible; you can use one bell push with
as many receivers as you like.
TLC order code VE D426E gives you one bell push and two receivers (one
plug-in and one battery) but you can mix-and-match the other products
so long as you don't mind ending up with - and paying for - surplus
pushes!

You don't take after her at all, do you?

You'd even help her put the batteries in.

I have had a customer who couldn't fit a sink plug to a chain :-)
Its a local phone shop in a mall. Amongst other things they asked me to
install a bell on the back door for delivery drivers - which I did - a wired
one. They now tell me that they want to be able to hear it in the shop and
in the office area - wiring would be a PITA.
I'll have to go & remove the old bell anyway & credit then for it (and mark
up the new one to cover it).
Not so much useless as can't be arsed.

Which is probably not such a bad thing. Since the push is outdoors 24/7 in
all weathers it's probably the most likely part of the system to fail so a
spare or two could be handy.

No. She thought that Mary Whitehouse made valid points.

Indeed I would. And I did far more for my Grandma

Here is a wireless doorbell with two ringer units, one for in, one for out:
http://www.islandextra.com/products/lifestyle/db-a-wireless-doorbell.html
And, in case you are interested, here is a wind-up doorbell, no power except
elbow grease required. We've had one of these for years, the sound nearly
brings the house down:

Why credit them? It's used goods.
You could fit a relay into the existing bell circuit to activate the
wireless push.

I used these recently:

to wire into "period" type bell push & pull units.

There was one of those at my Grandfathers house. Blooming excellent,
far better than the namby pamby electric bells and as for the
electronic things...
As my Grandfather died in 1969 things may have chnaged since then,
think along the lines of "they don't make 'em like they used to" but
I'd love to be proved wrong. But looking at the About Us I don't
think they are a small family company that has been making doorbells
since 19 somthing or other to the same basic design and specification
that just simply work.

Why - the battery life of a non mains one is quite poor as the receiver is
permanently on to listen for an incoming signal.
Mike Clarke
Not so sure about that. We've had a Friedland one for 5 years now and are
only on our third set of batteries, though I expect to need the fourth set
within the next month or so. At a couple of AA cells a time that's not so
bad.

Challenge that - we've a wireless one that works off two D cells to
ring a normal type door bell - (none of this ponsy chime stuff
here !), and I've just had to change them after 5 years. OK D cells
have a lot of capacity but that is still good value in that the bell
can be taken anywhere in the house, garden or workshop.

So Dave can charge them again to change the batteries:-)
