We understand that not everyone is comfortable with the idea of cutting a hole in their front door. But a peephole is a handy upgrade. It’s a small, but mighty addition to your front door that provides the security of knowing who is at your door without having to open it to find out.

Here’s how it works: The viewer’s optical lens, with a wide angle for maximum viewing, gives you the distinct advantage of seeing the person at the door without them knowing it. Most are designed to fit in exterior doors 1 3/8 inch to 2 inches thick. You’ll see them sold in the “door security hardware” section of home centers and hardware stores. To find a peephole door viewer sold online, type “door peephole viewer” into a search engine.
