Delaney Hardware 400129 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I need to drill for the Delaney 160 degree door viewer?
A 1/2 inch hole. The Delaney 160 Degree Solid Brass Viewer has a 1/2 inch diameter barrel and requires a 1/2 inch installation bore through the door. If an old viewer left a larger hole, this one won't cover it, so plan on a wider-flange peephole instead.
2) Will this peephole fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The Delaney 160 viewer covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inch thick, so it works on standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors as well as the older 1-3/8 inch interior and residential slabs. Doors thicker than 2 inches need an extended-barrel viewer.
3) How high off the floor should a door viewer be mounted?
Delaney suggests 60 inches from the finished floor for the 160 degree viewer. That height works for most adults standing at the door. In multi-family or accessible units, managers often add a second viewer lower on the door so seated residents can use it, since the 1/2 inch bore is small enough that two holes don't weaken the slab.
4) What finishes does the Delaney 160 degree brass viewer come in?
Two: 622 Matte Black and 619 Satin Nickel. Those are BHMA finish codes, so if the rest of your lockset and hinges are specified 619, the viewer will match the suite. For a property standardizing across a building, pick one code and stay with it.
5) Can I install this viewer in a metal door or does it only work in wood?
The Delaney 160 viewer threads together in two halves through a 1/2 inch bore and is held by the door itself, so what matters is the hole size and the 1-3/8 to 2 inch thickness range, not the slab material. Hollow metal doors drill to 1/2 inch with a step bit or hole saw the same as wood.
6) Is this door viewer actually solid brass or just brass plated?
Solid brass. The body of the Delaney 160 viewer is brass through, not a plated pot-metal shell, which is what holds up on an entry door that gets used every day and cleaned regularly. The matte black and satin nickel are finishes applied over that brass.
7) How wide is the view through a 160 degree peephole compared to a standard one?
160 degrees is a wide-angle view, meaning you can see almost the full width of the landing or hallway, including someone standing off to one side of the door. Narrower viewers leave blind spots right against the door face. For apartment entries and hotel guest room doors, the wider field is what residents and inspectors expect.
