2. Please note that through the years the model no. quoted: MK brand S4338 WHI [Year 2019]. In the future the model number may not necessary be identical to this.

2. The major advantage is that this door bell is compact and occupies the same dimensions of a concealed socket. Unlike some other brands that protrude out of the casing. 

3. I have asked many clients to consider looking at this flushed-bell for their new units (whenever suitable).

3.1 The bell socket can be found directly above the cavity for the fridge in a past T.O.P. Treasure Crest condo development as the bell housing is just behind the fridge. Thus if not for this compact bell, the fridge may have to be pushed out further!

3. The MK Wired Battery Operated Melody Door Chime suitable for BTO HDB and Condo (Door Bell Chime).

4. Three years ago if bought from an electrical shop selling MK branded switches etc..., it was only $10/-.

4.1. But today I understand the price range between $20 to $25/-. [Or may cost more in the near future.]

5. The battery compartment is at the front (where it is stamped @ LOVESIGNS.NET.) And the battery can easily be changed. Needs 3 x AAA’s. Many tones to choose from.

==========================
P.S. I am NOT SELLING THIS, PLEASE.  LOL!

Please note that I am not offering this for sale. I am simply sharing something beneficial.

I have received inquiries from several individuals asking where they can purchase it.

I clarified that sharing does not imply that I am selling it.

Therefore, I kindly request that you refrain from reaching out to me regarding this matter.

BILL FOR PURCHASE OF MK DC DOOR BELL.pngOn April 1, 2019, this store offered the MK DC battery doorbell for $20, not including GST.

Three years prior, the same item was available for just $10, indicating an inflation rate of approximately 100%.

It is important to note that I have no affiliation with this store; I simply purchased one for my residence. Therefore, this invoice serves merely as a reference.

Additionally, there is no assurance that the item is still in stock. MK is a well-regarded brand, and it is likely that other retailers also carry this product.

F6894704-731C-4DD9-889E-10E7DB3F58D2.jpegI visited Seletar Mall, where I found that the Daiyo brand wired bell serves the same function as the MK brand.

The complimentary casing is a valuable addition, although it can be omitted if desired.

This applies to developments such as Treasure Crest, The Clementi Canopy, The Topiary, and PARC Riviera, among others.

1. Tip on installing the MK brand compact door bell for longer life-span

1.1. Want to know the not so good news about this MK brand door bell?

1.2. Frankly it has more to do with the batteries (leakage).

1.3. If the door bell unit is installed as shown:-

1144810621_MKBRAND1.thumb.jpeg.7340ce287292edfbd7d2fd8a242a9681.jpeg

1.3. The unit runs on three AAA batteries.

1.4. Thus if one forgot to change batteries regulary e.g. yearly.

1.5. If one or several of the batteries starts to leak... often, the liquid via gravity will fall onto the sensitive circuitry.. thus say bye bye to the entire unit! Time for a replacement!

2. (Below) The trick is to flip the battery compartment upside-down. Got it? Get it!

391978014_MKBRAND1-THISISRECOMMENDED.jpg.93599fa57fb1c20b562c4a8145c48402.jpg

2.1 Therefore even if the batteries leak, there is still hope to extend it’s life.. instead of putting it to misery.. as well as burn a tiny hole in your pocket. Right?

2.2. Alternative, purchase the slightly more expensive Litium ion batteries vs the standard alkaline ones. 

2.3. I don’t recommend using rechargeable batteries. As often may need frequent recharging. A hassle to do so.

3. Another recommendation: Main Entrance external door GAP seal or the seller calls it: "Auto-seal"

Good things must share, right??

Numerous users accessed our website via links provided by search engines such as Google.com. Search engines tend to showcase links to various resources from Geomancy.net, even when those resources are not related to Feng Shui in any way. The reason for this is that Geomancy.net is recognized as the oldest verifiable Feng Shui forum and serves as a comprehensive site filled with extensive information.

Our inaugural forum was hosted on a complimentary third-party platform in 1996. As you may have surmised, this forum is no longer operational.

Furthermore, numerous associated websites were required to promote their services on our platform, rather than the reverse.

Attention! Please be advised that this note was composed on October 30, 2019.

You may encounter this message a year, six years, or even ten years later.

Therefore, it is advisable to conduct thorough research.

This model may no longer be current by that time.

Another recognized brand is Honeywell, specifically the model 5004100965714, which is a Honeywell Wired Doorbell featuring a light and sleep mode.

The search results indicate two locations offering this product, but there are likely additional retailers.

Features: 

  • Simple, reliable and hassle-free, the Honeywell Home DW315S wired doorbell comes with Sleep mode, which mutes the doorbell for 3, 6, 9 or 12 hours so you can relax free from disturbance. The innovative Halo light will also alert you to the presence of a visitor when the doorbell can’t be heard.

From the 1970s to the 1990s, Friedland emerged as a well-known brand, becoming a common fixture in many households. Currently, it appears that Honeywell has acquired ownership of this brand, as indicated by the website linked, here.

https://www.friedland.co.uk/en-GB/Chimes/Pages/default.aspx

Then, it was a standard feature in most homes...

Apparently, if one were to go to the above url; Honeywell seems to own this brand, today.

Another well-known brand...Honeywell 5004100965714

Search sample shows two locations selling it.. there should be more places...

Why does battery leak?

image.thumb.png.cdcb64e518e3756c13c5b11d5a1f3142.png

How do you minimize such a leak?

When we searched for clues, we found that many people have frequently recommended the reasonably priced Panasonic EVOLTA brand

1. Based on our past research, many have recommended to change / replace with Panasonic EVOLTA battery.

2. As many have said that the EVOLTA batteries are either less likely to leak prematurely or has a longer "leak-proof" life-span than most other popular brands.

final.thumb.jpeg.20dc06a834a77f9143cbdd46828bf0fd.jpeg

3. Thus in 2022, we have replaced all our remotes and battery operated items with this model.

3.1. These batteries do come in various sizes. AA or AAA etc..

4. Another frequently mentioned, and we had personally used are the Lithium batteries. Such as Energizer Lithium batteries.

LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE BETTER, BEST 
- BUT AIN'T CHEAP!

4.1. Unfortunately, the down-side is that presently lithium batters are not CHEAP. Thus most cannot afford to buy these for all of their equipment. Perhaps only selectively. Such as  for a Digital Door-lock also:-

image.thumb.png.113b4fba7fb2b34c72cd0ae72e3ae4a0.png

HAVE AN EXPENSIVE DIGITAL DOOR-LOCK? 

image.png.810c67bc61eb3273704b6def62c592e2.png

5. If you have a digital door lock, hope the next time you might want to consider the Panasonic brand of battery or Lithium batteries.

6. Please note that we are in no way affiliated with this brand or their distributors - if any. Trying to share some useful information.
