Constant Door Chime

[Keith Strehle]

It's a standard door bell switch from Home Depot. It releases when
you stop pushing. But even if you pushed it down and held it there
the bell should stop ringing until you push it again. Otherwise
every kid in the hood would be taping your dooebell button down!
It's a basic doorbell switch just like the one in my house. There
must be something else to this story. ?????????
