Will a Custom Chime Cover Fit My Nutone or Broan?

Doorbell chime mounted on an entryway wall beside the front door

If your indoor chime says Nutone or Broan on the label, you are not alone. That name is often the first thing people check when they wonder whether a decorative cover will fit. The short answer: fit comes from your chime’s height, width and depth, not from guessing a model number.

Iledecor product pages use custom-fit language for Nutone and Broan because so many homes use those styles of indoor chime. The cover is still made to your Height, Width, and Depth.

Why brand names show up on the product page

Shoppers search for Nutone and Broan when they want a cover that belongs on a familiar indoor chime box. Listing that language on the page helps you find the right kind of product: a made-to-measure decorative cover for a standard indoor doorbell chime.

It does not mean every Nutone or Broan unit is the same size. Boxes vary. That is why the order asks for three measurements instead of a model code alone.

What “custom fit for Nutone & Broan” means (and does not mean)

It means: the cover is designed for standard indoor doorbell chime boxes of the kind often sold under Nutone, Broan-Nutone, and similar lines. It is made to your measurements, rounded up to the nearest 1/16″, so it can slip over the housing you already have.

It does not mean: a fixed stock size labeled for one model, or a promise based on the stamp on the plastic alone. It also does not mean the listing replaces the chime. The product is the decorative indoor cover only.

Measure the box you have

Skip the model-number rabbit hole. Grab a tape and measure the chime itself, not the old decorative cover. Take the old cover off, then measure in this order: height (top to bottom of the chime’s back plate), width (side to side of the back plate) and depth (from the wall to the part of the chime that sticks out the most), in inches. Round each measurement up to the nearest 1/16 in. Each one can be up to 12.5 in.

How to Measure a Doorbell Chime Box for a Cover

Enter height, width and depth on the product page and your size is selected automatically. Your measurements, rounded up to the nearest 1/16″, travel with the order so the cover can be cut to fit.

Slip-over cover vs replacing the chime

Iledecor covers are designed to slip over a standard indoor doorbell chime box. You keep the chime you have. You are not ordering a new chime mechanism.

That also means you measure the indoor box on the wall—not the outdoor doorbell button, and not a video doorbell at the door.

Size tiers and why rounding up helps

Your size (and price) is selected automatically from the total, from X-Small (under 12 in) to 2X-Large (20 in and over). The order still carries your color and your measurements, rounded up to the nearest 1/16″.

If the total lands exactly on a size limit, choose the larger size. The cover is still built from your measurements, rounded up to the nearest 1/16″.

Each cover is made to order, after you place your order.

FAQ

Can I order from the model number alone?

No. Model names help you recognize the kind of box; they do not replace your chime’s height, width and depth. Measure the chime on your wall.

I measured the outdoor button—will that work?

No. The cover goes on the indoor chime box. The outdoor button is a different part of the system.

Is this for outdoor use?

No. Listings are for the decorative indoor cover only.

Will it fit Broan-Nutone or Newhouse-style boxes too?

Covers are made for standard indoor doorbell chime boxes, including Nutone, Broan-Nutone, and Newhouse language on product pages. Always measure your box.
