Ives IVE-701-B10B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size hole do I drill for an Ives 701 peephole?
A single 1/2 inch hole straight through the door. The trim ring itself is 5/8 inch diameter, so it covers the bore. Drill it perpendicular to the face, Ives suggests 60 inches off the finished floor for the sight line.
2) Which door viewers besides the Ives 701 carry a fire rating for a rated opening?
The Ives 701 is UL listed for 90 minute fire doors and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16, L23223. Among comparable viewers, the Hager 1756 is a 185 degree one-way viewer with a fire rating, and the Rockwood 621 and Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 are UL listed. The Hager 1756 is for 2-1/8 inch doors and the Rockwood 621 for 2 inch to 2-1/2 inch doors, so match the leaf thickness alongside the rating.
3) Which door viewer has a privacy cover if the Ives 701 does not?
The Ives 701 is a one-way brass viewer with a glass lens and tamper-resistant threading. If the tenant wants the lens blocked from the inside, the Hager 1759 is a 185 degree one-way viewer with a privacy flap, the Rockwood 624 is a 160 degree viewer with a cover, the Trimco 977 carries a heavy duty cover at 200 degrees, and the Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 is a privacy-function viewer with a privacy cover. The Hager 1759 fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch and the Rockwood 624 fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, both below the 701's 2-1/8 inch to 2-5/8 inch range, so match the door first.
4) What door viewer gives a wider field of view than the Ives 701 120 degree?
The Ives 701 sees 120 degrees. For a wider field, the Trimco 976 and the Trimco 977 with heavy duty cover are both 200 degree viewers, and the Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 is a UL listed 200 degree viewer with a glass lens and privacy cover. The Hager 1756 is a 185 degree one-way viewer with a fire rating. Note the two Trimco 200 degree models cover doors 1-17/64 inch to 2-1/8 inch, so confirm the door thickness before swapping from the 701's 2-1/8 inch to 2-5/8 inch range.
5) Can a peephole be unscrewed from the outside of the door?
Not on the Ives 701. It uses a one-way thread, so the exterior half cannot be backed out from the corridor side. It installs from the interior, which is also how you service it later. That matters on apartment and multi-family entries where the outside face is in a public hallway.
6) How wide can you see through an Ives 701 viewer, and how does it compare to a 200 degree peephole?
The 701 gives a 120 degree field. That covers a visitor at the door and some of the landing, but not the wall right beside the frame. If you want to see someone standing flat against the jamb, a wider lens does it: the Trimco 976 and the Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 are both 200 degree, and the Hager 1756 is 185 degree. The trade is thickness range, the 701 is the one built for doors past 2-1/8 inches.
7) What finishes does the Ives 701 viewer come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
Three finishes: 606 satin brass, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, and 626 satin chrome. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so 626 lines up with satin chrome levers and hinges elsewhere on the opening, and 613 with oil-rubbed bronze trim. Order by finish suffix: 701-B10B is the 606, 701-B26D the 613, 701-B4 the 626.
8) I'm standardizing peepholes across an apartment building with different door thicknesses. Can I use the Ives 701 everywhere?
Only on the thick doors. The 701 spans 2-1/8 to 2-5/8 inches, which typically means solid-core or fire-rated entry slabs. Thinner units in the same building need a different range, and staying inside one brand family is easier for spares. If you need the whole property to look alike, spec the finish first (606, 613, or 626 here) and match the thickness range per door type.
9) What viewer should I use on a thin door or a narrow stile where the Ives 701 will not seat?
The Ives 701 needs a leaf between 2-1/8 inch and 2-5/8 inch thick. For a thin door, the Rockwood 619 is a 160 degree viewer for doors 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch thick, and the Trimco 975 starts at 1-17/64 inch. The Rockwood 619 is the only one in that group that reaches down under an inch.
10) For a multi-family building standardizing on one door viewer, how do the Rockwood viewers line up against the Ives 701 across door thicknesses?
The Ives 701 covers a single band, 2-1/8 inch to 2-5/8 inch, at 120 degrees. The Rockwood viewers step through the range at 160 degrees: the 619 for 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch, the 620 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the 621 for 2 inch to 2-1/2 inch, with the 624 covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch with a cover. A building with mixed leaf thicknesses can hold one 160 degree family across the openings and use the Ives 701 where leaves run past 2-1/2 inch.
11) What is the difference between the Trimco 975, 976, and 977 door viewers when cross-referencing an Ives 701?
All three Trimco viewers cover doors 1-17/64 inch to 2-1/8 inch. The 975 is a 160 degree viewer, the 976 is 200 degree, and the 977 is 200 degree with a heavy duty cover. Against the Ives 701, which is 120 degree brass for 2-1/8 inch to 2-5/8 inch leaves, the Trimco range overlaps only at 2-1/8 inch, so a cross-reference for a thicker leaf will not land in the 975 series.
12) Is the Ives 701 door viewer solid brass or plated pot metal?
Solid brass body with a glass lens, not a plastic optic. Brass holds up on an exterior-facing entry, and the glass won't haze the way acrylic does over years of sun. Emtek's 2610 is the other solid brass viewer worth a look if you need a 5/8 inch hole size.
13) Is the Ives 701 viewer rated for commercial use or residential?
Ives lists the 701 as a residential viewer, and it's built for entry doors on houses, apartments, condos, and townhouses. It carries an ANSI/BHMA A156.16 designation of L23223 and the UL 90 minute fire door listing, which is why it still shows up on light commercial and multi-family openings where a rated door needs a viewer.
14) What do I need besides the viewer to install an Ives 701?
A 1/2 inch bit and a drill, that's the extent of the door prep. The two halves thread together through the bore and the 5/8 inch diameter trim covers the hole, so there are no screws, plates, or separate strike work. On a fire door, drill it clean and perpendicular, an oversized or angled bore is what voids the rated assembly, not the viewer itself.
