ProfessionalPeephole Installation

A wide-angle peephole lets you see who is at the door without opening it or cracking it an inch. We drill the hole at the right height for your household, seat the lens cleanly through the door, and confirm you get a clear, undistorted view of the entire entry area.

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.

Peephole Installation — 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.
