Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum
Hey there, I've been tasked with looking into an issue with a Rittenhouse C8578-1 135-7351-01 door chime. I don't usually work on hardware like this, so I could really use some guidance on how to fix or replace it. Any help or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
