Step 1: Gather Pieces

•  Peepholes come in two parts. The part with the lens faces outwards.

Step 2: Drill Hole

• Choose a position for the peephole, considering the average height of a person (5ft 7”) and the height of those who will be opening the door and using the peephole.

• Mark this position with a pencil and drill a mounting hole there using a drill bit that is a fraction larger than the peephole.

• To avoid splintering the door, drill very slowly and stop just as the drill bit breaks through the surface at the far side of the door, then drill through from the other side.

Step 3: Sand

• Sand the hole on both sides to leave a smooth finish.

Step 4: Fit Peephole

• Insert the two halves and screw the barrel of the peephole together firmly by hand.

• Use a wide screwdriver or the back of a kitchen knife to tighten the peephole fully.
