I like that this is large peephole which gives a great view of the other side of the door. This is a long overdue addition to my front door - so much better than opening the door when someone knocks just to see who is there! My front door is a foam-insultated fiberglass door. To make sure that my installation would be 'professional', I drilled an 1/8" hole into a 2x4 block with my drill press to make sure that my 'drill guide' was perpendicular to the surface. I placed this block flat on my door where I wanted to install the peephole and drilled a pilot hole completely through the door. This ensured that the two sides would be in exact alignment with each other. I then used the included 28 mm Forstner bit to drill the large hole necessary for installation. I first drilled from the inside and when it went through to the interior, I move to the outside and drilled. By drilling from both sides, I was able to get very clean holes. The actual installation was easy - I simply unscrewed the two halves, placed them in the holes and screwed them back together. I like that the peephole has a swinging piece that blocks the peephole from the inside. This swings up so you can look through. I am impressed with the quality of the metal work as well as the clarity of the optics. The view is very clear and covers a wide angle. An excellent, overdue addition to the front door!

Installation was simple, and the included hold saw was a perfect fit. Hard to get a picture of what it looks like, but it makes the entire front yard visible.

Easy to install. Provides clear view. Serves its function well. Appreciate that there's a cover on the interior side.

PROS:- Physical shutter- Wide view- Large lens and sight pieceCONS:- Included bit is only suitable for wood doorsI had a delay installing this because the bit included Forstner type bit is intended for use with wood, and despite sounding like a wood door when knocked on, it turned out to be metal over a foam core. (TIP: Check your door with a magnet, as most metal doors will be steel rather than aluminum).After obtaining the proper size and type bit for metal, the installation proceeded. Take care to keep the drill level and straight (a second person looking from the side can help). I also advise wearing ear protection, and of course eye protection is advised. I also advise smoothing down the edges afterward, although the unit could have been installed without doing this.Installing the unit itself after the hole was made was quite easy: Just place one part through the hole, the other from the opposite side and thread together. The unit can only be tightened by hand as there are no attachment points for a tool, but this appears to be adequate.If the outside of the door will be directly exposed to weather, a small bead of caulk behind the rim of the outside lens might be advisable.Once installed the unit gave a nice wide view and the large diameter made viewing easier. The rotating privacy shutter prevents someone outside from looking through to the inside.The construction appears to be high quality, with a nice brushed nickel appearance and what appear to be all glass lenses.If I needed another peephole, I would have no hesitation purchasing one of these.
