When I remove my current peephole I am left with a round hole in my door that is a little less than inch across. Is this doable?

Diameter of the tube that runs through the door for this item is around 1/2" (or maybe 5/8", don't remember exactly). This peep hole kit comes with 2-sided tapes to secure back side of the lense and back side of the LCD panel to the door. If the hole in your door is like 7/8" or close to 1", this one should still work because diameter of the lense piece is almost 2" so it will cover your existing hole.

Yes, Most Certainly. This "peephole" only requires a hole about as big around as a pencil. AND when you remove your peephole and install this one, the lens will cover the outer part of the hole in your door and the viewing screen covers the hole on the inside of your door... I have one and enjoy using it. Besides, my old doorbell was getting "frisky" and would get stuck when the button was pushed. The one you are reviewing has doorbell built in.

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.

Well, there's a loose metal piece that fits on two grooves that serves the purpose of making a better fit on my door, which is only about an inch thick. I measured the over-the-door portion without the loose metal piece, and it's just over 1 3/4", so I would say yes, if you can finagle that piece off. Seems simple enough to do, IMHO.

My unit is attached to a single door 14.5 inches wide. In it's original configuration, the door opened on hinges on the left; it now pulls directly out. If I understood your question correctly, I believe you can do the same. The only extra step that I can see is attaching the two doors together to make a single unit then attaching it to the Rev-A-Shelf hardware in the standard manner. I've owned the unit for almost one year and have been very pleased with it.

The holes for the hinges are pre-drilled. I would not have the ability to change the way the door opens but someone that is handier with tools would probably be able to.

The hole needs not to be any larger than one you would drill for a normal hardware store "fisheye" peephole. The Brinno fits right into the same hole after remover my 50 year old peephole. I will warn you though, If you have any backlighting, ie; porchlight, morning or evening sunlight...,anything that doesn't put your porch in complete darkness, this may not be what you're looking for. I am VERY unhappy with mine, as my porchlight will show nothing but the outline of someone standing there. You can't make out any facial features. If I turn out the light, well, then, you see absolutely nothing. The hole needs not to be any larger than one you would drill for a normal hardware store "fisheye" peephole.

There is a very slight gap between my doors. If you adjust the hinges you can get it to where it is not noticed.

I just installed this product, and before installing it I measured the size of the barrel and I got 11mm (but according to the Brinno web site, it is 12mm). Our old peephole, purchased less than 10 yrs ago, has a barrel of 14mm wide. Not much of a difference, but the old peephole is too big to fit in the mounting plate of this Brinno door viewer, it won't go in at all, so we will be using the new one that came with Brinno even though it's gold (color is not a big deal for us).

Probably not without major additional modifications to the door. When you cut out the hole, you'd be left with slats that wouldn't have anything supporting them in the middle. If there's a reason why you want to keep the louvered door, I'm sure a carpenter could modify it so that it had a solid piece at the bottom where the cat door would be, but otherwise it would be simpler and probably cheaper to just get a different door.

Are you referring to the diameter when you state (existing hole is 2 3/8 wide )? If that's the case then the display part pictured will cover the inside but the outside camera/viewer is a standard size and 2 3/8" is much too large. If you are referring to the thickness of the door, then this will work. Hope this is helpful.

I believe you would have to use some kind of flange that has a 6in. round hole and a larger square or round collar

There is a 'fixed' insert that takes the opening (door width) down to 1 3/4 inches. I used two 'ice cream sticks' as shims to make up the difference and they work great.

The door must be a certain thickness. The optical lens is very precise. It does come with a tool to remove your old peep hole.

I had a similar suited door, and it managed to squeeze in. You might want to ask someone for help, but it should fit.

Yes. I have it installed this way. However, its possible there are exceptions to this. My door had pre-drilled holes and mortises, which I believe are standardized.

I don't see why not. Mine is small like that but I did get a new door also. Call the company, they are very helpful.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "reinstall the peephole". Just remove the existing lens assembly from the hole in the door with the provided screwdriver-like device (it comes with the electronic peephole) and install the electronic device in the same hole.It works quite well unless the area behind the person is brightly lit. Then the person at the door is seen in silhouette.After you vacate your dorm, just reverse the procedure and reinstall the original peephole lens.Hope this helps you.
