pushbuttons in parallel. in that situation i would be inclined to use wireless. use a 2 kits with 2 sounders on each, different tones for front and back.
This is the way to go. Use the type where you alter the code. if all codes are set the same, one or more pushbuttons can operate as many doorbells as you want.
I can say this from experiance...i was the sparks sent to sort some others problems out on a very large site. No wiring had been installed as builders didn't want it, then at end of site they changed their minds. Bosses solution was to buy wireless kits, 40+ of them, and the on site sparks fitted them. Couldn't be bothered with mundane things like changing the factory set codes.
So any button pushed set off all doorbells within range. Great fun when trying to get access to one house for maintainance.....lots of doors used to open!
Cant remember the make but wholesalers might actually prove to be of some use for once if asked.
