What’s included
- Mark the correct height on the door for the primary user
- Drill the appropriate diameter hole cleanly through the door
- Insert and tighten the outer and inner lens assemblies
- Check the view angle and clarity from the inside
- Fill or touch up the exterior hole edge if requested
- Install a second lower peephole for accessibility if needed
How it works
Mark and measure
We confirm the desired height — typically 58 to 60 inches for adults, lower for wheelchair users or children — and mark the center point before drilling.
Drill and seat the lens
We drill a clean hole through the door with a sharp hole saw, insert the viewer, and tighten the inner barrel against the outer lens until it is snug and level.
Check the view
We look through the peephole from the inside to verify the viewing angle and clarity and adjust the lens tightness if the image is not sharp.
Problems we fix
- Steel or fiberglass doors requiring a step-down approach with the right drill bits
- Thick doors needing an extended barrel lens beyond the standard length
- Peephole placed at the wrong height in a previous installation needing repositioning
- Older peepholes with a narrow field of view leaving blind spots beside the door
Peephole Installation in Columbia — FAQ
What diameter hole do you drill?
Most standard peepholes need a 9/16-inch or half-inch hole. Wide-angle and digital smart peepholes may require a larger bore. We confirm the diameter for your specific viewer before drilling.
Can you install a wide-angle or digital peephole?
Yes. Wide-angle viewers with 180-degree lenses are a straightforward upgrade over standard ones. Digital smart peepholes with a display screen are also something we install — they typically need the same drilled hole.
What if my door is thick or steel?
Extended barrel viewers handle thick doors, and the right drill bit cuts through steel without cracking the door. We come prepared for common door materials and thicknesses.
Can you install a second lower peephole for a child or wheelchair user?
Absolutely. A second viewer at a lower height is a simple additional hole, and we handle it in the same visit if you request it when booking.
Peephole Installation across Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
