My door bell is pretty basic and the solenoid that hits the chime is just a simple electro magnet with a steel rod that gets pulled to the center and a wood tip hits the chime, I've made solenoids like that before with small copper wire wrapped around a drinking straw and a chunk of nail, use a weak spring to return it.
