Don-Jo DV-180-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo DV door viewer fit a 1-3/4 inch solid core entry door?
Yes. The Don-Jo DV viewer covers doors from 1-3/8 inches to 2 inches thick, so a 1-3/4 inch solid core entry door sits right in the middle of the range. That range also picks up the older 1-3/8 inch interior slabs common in pre-70s apartment stock. If your doors are thicker than 2 inches, this is the wrong viewer; the Rockwood 621 is listed for 2 inches to 2-1/2 inches, and the Trimco 975 covers 1-17/64 inches to 2-1/8 inches.
2) What is the difference between the Don-Jo DV 180 and DV 90 door viewers?
Two things separate them: field of view and view dimension. The DV 180 gives a 180 degree field with a 9/16 inch view dimension and carries ANSI reference L21371. The DV 90 gives a 160 degree field with a 1/2 inch view dimension and carries ANSI reference L21372. Both fit the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range and both use a plastic lens, so the choice is purely how much of the landing the occupant needs to see. Wider view for a tight corridor or a landing where someone could stand off to the side; the 160 degree DV 90 where a smaller bore is preferred.
3) What size hole do I need to drill for a Don-Jo DV door viewer?
Bore to the view dimension of the model you ordered: 9/16 inch for the DV 180 and 1/2 inch for the DV 90. Because those two differ, do not drill the door before you know which model is coming, and do not assume one model drops into a hole drilled for the other. A 9/16 inch bore is oversized for the DV 90 barrel, and a 1/2 inch bore is undersized for the DV 180.
4) Can I reuse an existing peephole hole when replacing a viewer with a Don-Jo DV?
It depends on what came out. The DV 90 needs a 1/2 inch hole and the DV 180 needs 9/16 inch, so an existing bore has to match or be enlarged to one of those. Enlarging 1/2 inch to 9/16 inch is a straightforward step up with a bit and a backer block; going the other way is not possible, so if the old bore is already larger than 9/16 inch, a DV will not fill it and you want a viewer with a bigger barrel or a cover plate. The Trimco 977 with its heavy duty cover is one option for hiding a worn or oversized opening.
5) Is the Don-Jo DV door viewer fire rated for a labeled apartment entry door?
No. The Don-Jo DV is a residential-grade viewer with a plastic lens, and a plastic lens is not what goes into a labeled opening. For a fire rated corridor or apartment entry door, use a viewer that carries the rating: the Hager 1756 at 185 degrees is fire rated, and the Ives U698 is a UL fire rated wide angle viewer at 190 degrees. The Ives U696 (150 degrees) and U700 are also fire rated. Drilling a non-rated viewer into a labeled door is the kind of thing an inspector writes up.
6) Will the Don-Jo DV work on a thin hollow core interior or closet door?
Not below 1-3/8 inches. The DV barrel is sized for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, so a thin interior slab will leave the two halves unable to thread together tightly. For genuinely thin doors, the Rockwood 619 is a 160 degree viewer listed for 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch thickness, which is the range a 1-3/8 inch viewer cannot reach down to.
7) I need a door viewer with a privacy cover - does the Don-Jo DV have one, and what else offers it?
The Don-Jo DV is a plain viewer in DV 90 and DV 180 models with a plastic lens and no cover. For a covered viewer, the Rockwood 624 is a 160 degree viewer with a cover for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the same thickness range the DV covers. The Hager 1759 is a 185 degree one-way viewer with a privacy flap for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors. The Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 pairs a privacy cover with a 200 degree glass lens and is listed as a privacy/bed/bath function item, and the Trimco 977 uses a heavy duty cover on a 200 degree viewer.
8) What is the closest equivalent to a Don-Jo DV 90 160 degree door viewer for a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door?
The Rockwood 620 is the direct match. It is a 160 degree door viewer covering a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, the same viewing angle and the same thickness range the Don-Jo DV 90 is built for. The Trimco 975 is also a 160 degree viewer, with a wider 1-17/64 inch to 2-1/8 inch thickness range that covers the same doors plus somewhat thicker ones. Either drops into the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch entry door a DV 90 would go into.
9) The Don-Jo DV is residential grade - what should I use on a fire rated door instead?
The Don-Jo DV is a residential product. For a fire rated opening, the Ives one-way viewers carry a fire rating: the U698 is a wide angle one-way viewer with a 190 degree view and UL fire rating, the U696 is a one-way viewer with a 150 degree viewing angle and fire rating, and the U700 is a one-way brass viewer with UL fire rating. The Hager 1756 is a 185 degree one-way viewer with a fire rating, built for a 2-1/8 inch door. The Rockwood 621 is UL listed and covers a 2 inch to 2-1/2 inch door thickness. Match the viewer's thickness range to the actual fire door leaf before ordering.
10) My door is thinner than 1-3/8 inches - what door viewer fits instead of the Don-Jo DV?
The Don-Jo DV starts at 1-3/8 inches, so a thinner leaf needs a different viewer. The Rockwood 619 is a 160 degree viewer built for an 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch door thickness, which covers thin panel and cabinet-weight doors. The Trimco 975, also 160 degrees, starts at 1-17/64 inches and runs to 2-1/8 inches, so it picks up doors slightly under 1-3/8 inches as well.
11) How many Don-Jo DV viewers come in a pack?
The DV viewers ship in shelf packs of 10. That is the unit to plan around for a turn crew or a building-wide swap: one pack covers ten units, so a 48-door property is five packs. If you only need one or two for a single repair, the pack quantity is worth knowing before you order.
12) What finishes does the Don-Jo DV door viewer come in, and will they match my existing door hardware?
Two finishes: 605 polished brass and 626 satin chrome. Both are offered on both the DV 90 and the DV 180, so you are not forced into a viewing angle by your finish choice. 605 pairs with brass knobs and levers on older residential entries; 626 matches the satin chrome and brushed-nickel-family trim on most newer multifamily hardware. For a fleet, pick one and buy it across the property so the doors read consistently.
13) Is there a direct alternative to the Don-Jo DV 90 if I want a glass lens instead of plastic?
The DV 90 uses a plastic lens. For the same 160 degree view on the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, the Rockwood 620 is the closest like-for-like swap. If you want solid brass construction, the Emtek 2610 is a solid brass viewer that takes a 5/8 inch diameter hole, so note the larger bore before you drill. The Sure-Loc 180 degree residential viewer is the nearer match if you were leaning toward the DV 180 instead.
14) Can I specify a Don-Jo DV viewer on a submittal that calls out an ANSI number?
Yes, both models carry ANSI reference designations. The DV 180 is ANSI L21371 and the DV 90 is ANSI L21372. Those are the numbers to put on the submittal or the hardware schedule line. Note the product is residential grade, so if the schedule is for a labeled or commercial opening, the ANSI reference alone will not satisfy it.
15) What is the difference between the Don-Jo DV and a one-way door viewer like the Ives 701?
The Don-Jo DV is a straightforward residential viewer with a plastic lens in 160 degree and 180 degree models. The Ives 701 is a one-way brass viewer with a 120 degree viewing angle, made for thicker doors, and it carries a fire rating. One-way construction is the point of difference on the Ives line - the U696 at 150 degrees, the U698 at 190 degrees and the U700 in brass are all one-way and fire rated. If the spec on the drawing calls for one-way viewing or a fire rating, the DV is not the part being described.
16) Is there a door viewer with a glass or solid brass lens instead of the Don-Jo DV plastic lens?
The Don-Jo DV uses a plastic lens. For a different build, the Emtek 2610 is a solid brass door viewer that takes a 5/8 inch diameter hole. The Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 uses a 200 degree glass lens and is UL listed with a privacy cover. The Ives U700 and Ives 701 are both one-way brass viewers. Note the Emtek 2610 bore is 5/8 inch, so confirm the existing hole size before swapping it into a door already drilled for a DV.
17) I am standardizing viewers across an apartment building and need a UL listed option - what compares to the Don-Jo DV 180?
The Don-Jo DV 180 is a residential 180 degree viewer sold in shelf packs of 10, which suits multi-unit work. Where a UL listing is required, the Sure-Loc 160 degree door viewer is UL listed, the Rockwood 621 is UL listed for 2 inch to 2-1/2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 is UL listed at 200 degrees with a privacy cover. The Sure-Loc 180 degree viewer is the residential-door counterpart at the same 180 degree angle as the DV 180.
