Door viewers, also called peepholes, consist of a lens and cylinder which is inserted into a door, allowing a view outside. The amount of visibility is determined by the degree of the lens; the higher the number, the greater the visibility. Door viewers are sometimes incorporated with door knockers.

Rockwood ROC-622-CRM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Rockwood 622 peephole UL listed for a fire rated door?
The 622 is UL listed and meets ANSI A156.16. That is the auxiliary hardware standard peepholes are written to, and the UL listing is what a facility inspector looks for on a rated opening.
2) I need a peephole with a privacy cover on the inside. Does the Rockwood 622 have one?
No. The 622 is a plain lens and cylinder with no interior flap or cover. If a tenant or a bed and bath application needs the inside blocked off, look at the Hager 1759, a 185 degree viewer with a privacy flap that covers the same 1-3/8 to 2-1/8 inch door thickness range, or the Cal-Royal PRIULDV200, a UL listed privacy viewer with a 200 degree glass lens and privacy cover.
3) Can I standardize every unit door in a building on the Rockwood 622?
Across a mixed-age building, yes, in most cases. The 1-3/8 to 2-1/8 inch range covers both older 1-3/8 inch interior slabs and 1-3/4 inch entry doors, so one part number and one 9/16 inch bit covers the fleet. Five finishes let you match different lock finishes without changing viewer models. The exception is any unit needing a privacy cover on the inside, which the 622 does not have.
4) The Rockwood 622 is a residential viewer. What do I specify for a rated corridor door in a hospital or school?
The fire rated brass options are the Ives U700 one-way brass door viewer with UL fire rating and the Ives 701 one-way brass viewer for thicker doors, both listed as fire rated, along with the Hager 1756 185-degree one-way viewer with fire rating for 2-1/8 inch doors. The Rockwood 622 is a brass viewer designated residential that meets ANSI A156.16 and is UL listed.
5) My apartment doors are thinner than 1-3/8 inch. What door viewer fits when the Rockwood 622 will not?
The Trimco 975, 976 and 977 viewers all cover a door thickness range of 1-17/64 inch to 2-1/8 inch, which reaches below the 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch range of the Rockwood 622. The 975 is a 160-degree viewer, the 976 is 200 degree, and the 977 is 200 degree with a heavy duty cover, so pick by the viewing angle you want to hold.
6) Is the Emtek 2610 a drop-in swap for the Rockwood 622?
Not in the same bore. The Emtek 2610 is a solid brass door viewer prepped for a 5/8 inch diameter hole, while the Rockwood 622 installs in a 9/16 inch hole. Swapping a 622 into an existing 2610 prep leaves the smaller barrel loose in an oversized bore; going the other way means enlarging the hole.
7) How wide can you see through a 190 degree door viewer like the Rockwood 622?
190 degrees is effectively the full width of the landing, including someone standing flat against the door frame just out of a narrow lens's view. That matters on apartment and hotel entries where a visitor can step to the hinge side. For comparison, the Ives U696 is a 150 degree viewer and the Ives 701 is 120 degrees, both of which leave a blind wedge to either side.
8) Is the Rockwood 622 door viewer solid brass or plated pot metal?
Brass. The 622 body is brass with a plated finish over it, which is what holds up on an exterior-facing entry door where the outside escutcheon takes weather and hands. The Emtek 2610 is another solid brass viewer, though it bores at 5/8 inch rather than 9/16.
9) Is the Rockwood 622 a residential peephole or is it built for commercial apartment doors?
Rockwood classes the 622 as residential hardware, and that is the honest read: it is the peephole for apartment, condo, and dwelling unit entry doors. It is still UL listed and meets ANSI A156.16, so it holds up as a spec item on multi-family entries. For a heavier commercial cover, the Trimco 977 is a 200 degree viewer with a heavy duty cover.
10) What can I replace an old 160 degree peephole with if I want a wider view in the same door?
The Rockwood 622 gives you 190 degrees and fits doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/8 inches thick, so on most swaps the existing bore only needs to be confirmed or opened to 9/16 inch. If your old unit is a Trimco 975 at 160 degrees, the Trimco 976 and 977 are 200 degree viewers in the same 1-17/64 to 2-1/8 inch thickness range and stay within the same brand's prep.
11) Do I need any extra hardware to install a Rockwood 622 peephole?
Nothing beyond a 9/16 inch bore. The 622 is a two-piece lens and cylinder that threads together through the door and tightens by hand, so the only thing that has to be right is the hole size and a door within 1-3/8 to 2-1/8 inches thick. No mounting screws, plates, or backing are involved.
12) What is the difference between the Rockwood 622 and the Ives U696 or Ives 701?
Viewing angle is the separator. The Rockwood 622 gives a 190-degree view. The Ives U696 one-way viewer is 150 degrees and the Ives 701 one-way brass viewer is 120 degrees and built for thicker doors; both are fire rated. A narrower cone shows less of the landing directly against the door face, which matters on a multi-family entry where the caller can stand to the side.
13) The Hager 1756 was specified but our doors vary in thickness. What else covers a range?
The Hager 1756 185-degree one-way viewer with fire rating is listed at a 2-1/8 inch door thickness. For a mixed fleet, the Rockwood 622 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch in a 9/16 inch hole, and the Hager 1759 185-degree one-way viewer with privacy flap covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch span.
14) We need a peephole that stands up to abuse in a high-turnover building. Is there a heavier option than the Rockwood 622?
The Trimco 977 door viewer pairs a 200-degree lens with a heavy duty cover and fits doors 1-17/64 inch to 2-1/8 inch thick. The Rockwood 622 is a solid brass viewer with a 190-degree range and no cover, so the choice is whether you want a protected lens cap on the outside face.
15) I want the widest viewing angle available. Does anything see more than the Rockwood 622?
Yes. The Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 uses a 200-degree glass lens, and the Trimco 976 and Trimco 977 are both 200-degree viewers fitting doors 1-17/64 inch to 2-1/8 inch thick. The Rockwood 622 sees 190 degrees and installs in a 9/16 inch hole in doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch thick.
16) Which viewers can I standardize on across a building with both rated stair doors and unrated unit entries?
The Ives U698 wide angle viewer is UL fire rated at 190 degrees, matching the 190-degree viewing range of the Rockwood 622, so the two read the same to a tenant while the U698 handles the rated openings. If you would rather run one part everywhere, the Ives U700 brass viewer and Ives U696 at 150 degrees are also fire rated. The Rockwood 622 is brass, meets ANSI A156.16, is UL listed, and comes in Antique Bronze, Polished Brass, Bright Chrome, Dull Chrome and Satin Nickel.
17) What finishes does the Rockwood 622 door viewer come in?
Five: antique bronze, polished brass, bright chrome, dull chrome, and satin nickel. That spread lets you match the viewer to the lockset and knocker already on the door, which is usually what decides it on a multi-unit building where every entry needs to look the same.
18) If I only need a basic viewer and do not need 190 degrees, what is the simpler alternative to the Rockwood 622?
The Trimco 975 is a 160-degree door viewer covering doors 1-17/64 inch to 2-1/8 inch thick, and the Emtek 2610 is a solid brass viewer for a 5/8 inch diameter hole. Both trade the wider cone of the Rockwood 622, which is a 190-degree brass viewer in a 9/16 inch hole.
