How hard is it to install a peephole in an entry door? I just moved into a house owned by family and the entry door had these two windows for light up top which my 6ft4 ass can look at but my gf cant so she doesnt like opening the door.

Is it something a novice could tackle or is it better left to a professional?

YouTube. Or Google. Or buy one cheap one eBay and try on a scrap piece of wood. But most importantly, gfy, faggot, and quit asking stupid shit.

instead of doing that you should watch the film called transporter. some really good info on why not to do a peephole.

for simplicity you drill a hole then screw the two parts together. simple unless you are clinically monglified or don't own a drill.

maybe i am confused about what film it was but the problem with a peephole is its obvious to the person outside that you are there because your head and eye blocks the light. so they know exactly when to kick or shoot the door to rattle you. unless your vestibule is really dark.

Buy a peephole that will fit door thickness
Use correct drill bit size listed on package
Find center where you want to place it
Make sure gf can reach comfortably
Drill hole straight
Unscrew new peephole apart
Place body of peephole through door
Make sure it isnt backwards
Screw peephole back together on door

Just use peephole covers, and a door sweep. Problem solved.

Why not set up a camera like Casey Neistat has on his office door?

>> No.1446341

I have always wondered why doesnt the door have two peepholes. Are we cyclops or what? two peepholes would be better if someone covers one imho

if someone covers your peephole it's probably not someone you want to let in

You should be able to install a peephole yourself if you have a drill and decent set of bits, however, I'd also suggest installing a mirror that you can look at through your peephole so that you can see anyone who may be hiding out of sight of the peephole.

Then the hole gets lighter when you open it and send result is the same.
