NuTone Entry Door Stations - Does Your Door Chime Ring Every Time?
Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 7:44AM Everyone says that first impressions are very important.
When someone walks up to your front door, what kind of impression does your NuTone Entry Door Intercom Speaker make?
If it's more than 10 years old, it's look probably leaves a lot to be desired and it may not actually work any longer. Any Intercom Station that is mounted on the exterior of a home takes quite a beating over the years with all of the sun, wind and rain. The paper speaker cones slowly weather away and the contacts inside the Door Chime Push Buttons become corroded and its operation becomes intermittent.
I can't tell you how many times I've had customers tell me that their door chimes will work if you know exactly how to push the button "just right". . .
To address some of the most common problems with NuTone Door Speakers, I'm starting a series of YouTube Videos that will cover the basic tasks of repairing and replacing existing door speakers.
My first Video covers NuTone Models IS67D and IS69PB (the 2 most popular models) and I show how simple it is to replace the original Door Chime Push Button.
The next Video will cover how to replace the Intercom Speaker Cone in these models.

Part 2: How To Replace the Speaker Cone in a NuTone Entry Door Speaker Station
In Part 2, I show you how to replace the Speaker Cone in both a NuTone IS67 and IS69 Entry Door Speaker Station. I cover the differences between the original speaker cones and new new speaker cones that NuTone is manufacturing today.
The primary difference is the lack of screws on the speaker terminals, this is where the wires would be attached on the original speaker cones. To make up for this difference, I show the "installation kit" that we provide to our customers where they purchase a new NuTone speaker cone from us.
The "installation kit" includes 2 pre-made wires which have the proper connectors that slip on to the speaker's terminals, along with 2 crimp connectors to make the splice onto the orignal wires.
We also included 4 push-clips, which are used on metal grilled door speakers to hold the speaker cone onto the back of the grill.
In Parts 3, I'll show how to replace the complete Door Speaker Station with a new model that is currently being made by NuTone.

more than twenty steps away, do not yell but go and find that person. However, many have found that a house rule such as this is not the solution to this problem. A more workable solution may be to install a video intercom system. I like your post. I will share your blog to my friend.
In the past we all used to have chains on our front doors for this purpose in the chain can be easily forced it's much better if you don't have to open the door in the first place to see who was there.Keeping this in mind let's have a look at five things we need to know about video intercom systems: I like your post. I will share your blog to my friend.
Hi Sabin,
While Video Entry System have always been very cool, for most people they are viewed as "interesting but not a necessity".
