How do I re-establish power to Doorbell 2 after removing chime and access to wires?
We are remodeling our house. Part of that included removing the old chime and the old hole/wires are covered by a cabinet now. I didn't realize the chime was part of the "circuit" that allowed our Doorbell 2 to get power, I just assumed it was getting it separately from the transformer directly. I can't get to those wires without drillling a hole in the cabinet which I don't want to do.How do I get power to the Doorbell 2 again? Can I use the existing transformer and do I need to locate the wire that went from the doorbell button to the chime and re-route?I'm assuming that if I'd known this problem before the cabinet install, I couldn't have just twisted the wires of the chime together and would have had to do whatever you're going to suggest anyway?

Hi @jake\_ring24. To install your Doorbell 2 directly to a low-voltage transformer, you can follow the steps in this Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003495766-How-to-Connect-Your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2-Directly-to-a-Low-Voltage-Transformer-Without-a-Pre-existing-Doorbell-). You will need a resistor, which you can find our website [here](https://ring.com/collections/accessories/products/wirewound-resistor) if you do not have one. Alternatively, you can purchase a new chime kit that is compatible with the Doorbell 2, as outlined [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003008663-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2-Chime-Kit-Compatibility-List). I hope this information helps! :)
