Sumnacon Safety Door Viewer,Solid Brass 220-degree Door Viewer/Peephole with Heavy Duty Rotating Privacy Cover for 1.37" to 2.16" Doors, Sturdy Door Viewer for Home Office Hotel, Silver

This was easy for my friend to put into my front apt door. You should have someone who knows how to install this, although it seemed straightforward . Looks good with the "brushed gold" color as it is a good "blended color contrast" to the bright brass door hardware I have.

It works as expected.

My mom is older and hasn't caught on to the Whole Security Camera world. So, I installed this peephole for her. She was impressed. She stated, "I can see my neighbors front door without squinting!" After her reaction, I installed one on her backdoor as well.

They don't make them like they used to (I own the old American versions and there is a night & day difference between those and the newer Chinese versions. These Chinese ones are mediocre).I bought a bunch from different sources and all had focus issues - i.e. clear but like putting on someone else's reading glasses.This Sumnacon was the best of bunch, though they are probably all made in same factory and I just got a decent one. The Sumnacon can at least be disassembled to flip lenses 'if' you get one that just doesn't seem right you can flip the small 'plastic' lens (all 3 lenses are plastic) closest to eye to make it convex in case factory assembled it wrong. But if you currently have a small diameter peep hole / door viewer this WILL be a big improvement.

Went on easily & it does what it’s supposed to!

Good product

I very much like this peephole. It has a larger size so it adds interest to the door so I recommend matching your door handle. I do wish it was available for slightly thinner doors. I am able to screw it tightly, but only to the point where the front piece now obscures the privacy aperture. But the finish is so beautiful that I’m fine with not being able to slide close the viewer. It requires a larger hole than the average peephole, so be prepared for that.

Definitely make sure you have a 5/8" drill bit, my set only goes to 1/2" and I had to go get a bigger one. While I was doing the installation, one of the internal plastic lenses popped out and fell into a crack in the pavement and I couldn't get it back, so I'm going to have to order a new one. Be careful, the front peephole cover also unscrews, which is how everything popped apart. I think ultimately that will be a good thing if I ever need to clean dust or moisture out of the unit, but it became a problem while I was trying to screw the front and back piece together.The method of drilling a 1/8 pilot and then the larger hole worked well, I only went through with the big drill bit halfway from each side rather than all the way through to prevent splintering.
