In order to carry out the repair work on the door lock, it is worthwhile to prepare some tools that will be useful:

  • screwdriver;
  • rubber gloves;
  • cutting pliers;
  • indicator screwdriver;
  • plug;
  • outlet;
  • two table lamps.

Sequence of actions when repairing a call

So, if you have prepared all the tools listed in the paragraph above, you can start working.

Step 1 Switching off the electricity

In order to start repairing the door lock, it must first be de-energized. But it is necessary to take into account the fact that the table lamp should also be fed from something. To do this, turn off just one automatic plug. Most often, the door bell is powered by the same machine as the chandelier, so you need to turn on the chandelier and turn off the plugs one by one until it turns off. After the desired plug is turned off, you can start working. It will remain possible to connect a table lamp to the socket.

Step 2 Check for a network failure

Before starting to repair, you must check the network for a break. To do this, you need to remove the insulation from the bell wires after putting on gloves. Then you need to temporarily connect the outlet to the wires, and connect the lamp to the outlet. After that, the corresponding automaton should be turned on. If the lamp is on, there is no network break. If the inclusion did not occur, then this is direct evidence of a gap in the network. This fault should not be eliminated by own forces, and it is necessary to call an electrician.

Step 3 Checking the equipment using an ohmmeter

Again, you need to turn off the corresponding machine. Then you need to unplug the temporary outlet. After it is worthwhile to attach the ohmmeter to the wires, keeping them for isolated parts. Your partner should press the button, and if at this moment the arrow has deviated, it means that both the wire and the button are in good order.

Step 4 If the arrow on the ohmmeter has not deviated

If the deviation of the arrow does not occur, then you need to disassemble the button. Then check the tightness of the ohmmeter contacts and perform the test procedure again. If necessary, clean the button contacts. Also, in order to avoid burnout, it is necessary to check the contacts for whether they are busy permanently.

Step 5 Checking the call

After all the above events have been carried out, it is worth checking it. To do this, it is necessary to attach all the contacts to the site, turn on the corresponding automaton and perform a trial run. If after this the call does not work, then it is not subject to repair. You need to buy a new device and install it as instructed by the manufacturer. If the call started to work, then you have coped well with the task. You need to attach all the elements to the place so that the wires do not get tangled or stick out.
