Does the product require a hole in addition to the peephole? I have a metal door and would rather not drill a new hole through it.

No; it did not require an additional hole because it uses the existing peephole.
1993025
Yes It does. I am not sure if it is a 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" hole size you have to drill.

No sir. The peephole is all you need, it's easy to install and works great.

I uninstalled the existing peephole and installed the Brinno PeepHole in the same hole. If the area is dark you can't tell who the person is.

The device replaces your existing peep hole thus, it has to be placed in the hole on the door. Think of it as a peep hole with a television screen. Rather than squinting to see who is at the door, all you have to do is turn on the device to see who is standing at the door.

If you intend to install the unit on a metal door or gate, you will need a piece of rubber to insulate the lock box from the metal door/gate. OTHERWISE, you do not need anything else. Unlike "cowstein" I am completely happy with the lock.

No it can't, also the door has to be a certain thickness. My door has raised panels that are a different thickness so it didn't work. The door is thinner in the center where the peephole is. I believe it gives the dimensions/ thickness of the peephole.

I don't really understand your question, but if you have a standard peephole, this will work fine.

We had a deadbolt above the doorknob. So, basically, we removed the deadbolt and replaced it with this lock. There was just a hole through the door about the size of a silver dollar ( I am sure it is a standard size) that worked perfectly with this lock.

The doorbell part also includes the camera. The instructions tell you to route the wires through the existing peephole, or if you don't have one already, to drill a hole for the wiring. I guess you could put it on the doorframe, but then you would not be able to see who was at the door, or just whatever level you would put the doorbell at. You would likely have to do some additional wiring for it to reach your viewer. Best to put it in the normal (peephole) position.

the outside hole is 1 inch diameter, the inside is a 2x4 with digital display, with time date. is this what you need? it works great, it would even be better that it would automatically take a pic or video when door is approached. it does also have a door bell button on the outside unit, also when pic or video is activated 3 bright leds come on. if you already have a peep hole simply remove the old put in the new

Not sure. I didn't need it with my installation. Put this in a regular metal exterior door. No issues with installation.

The doorbells do not require any kind of hole. It is a surface mount. There is, of course, a hole where the wires come out to connect it, but you tuck them beneath the lizard.

Since you have an existing peep hole, installation will be a breeze. The PeepHole View comes with a standard size peephole and attaches to it. Just unscrew your existing peephole and attach it to the PeepHole View and screw back in the existing hole. You will love it. I agree with the person below, brightly lit can cause silhouettes. The only other problem is darkness. There must be some light on the outside or you cannot make out who is on the other side of the door. I really like the peephole.

The metal plate simply covers the hole left by removing the reflector bulb. It might cut down on any drafts coming through the fixture or maybe stop some bugs from crawling in. Maybe it also affords some fire resistance. If you're installing a cover over the hole anyway, I wouldn't worry about skipping the metal cover plate. It does not provide any structural function.

It's supposed to be held in place by a velcro tab that comes with the product but it didn't stay in place. No the installation doesn't leave holes in the door. It works but definitely is not pretty. Sorry it took so long to reply back to you.

Yes, a seperate hole is required. I mounted mine high up on the door, near the front of the car.

Mine fit perfectly where the old deadbolt was and no extra holes were necessary. Such a great product!

yes , i installed mine in a new metal patio door. start outside and drill the holes as directed. then jig saw with a metal blade. probably won't go all the way. thus using the holes drilled thru saw the inside. they must be exact to get the right fit. you will need two people to get it lined up right, then the rest is easy. It is a great door. we have 3 dogs and its in and out a hundred times a day. seals it self every vtime. it is a bit noisey at times, but it does let us know when they go out. hope that helps.
