Trimco TRI-975.625 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door thickness does the Trimco 975 door viewer fit?
Across the 975 Series the coverage runs 1-17/64 inch up to 2-1/8 inch, so a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door is squarely in range. Thickness is a model decision, not a field adjustment: the 975-1 is built for thin doors of 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch, the base 975 covers the normal range, and the 975L is the extra long body for the thickest doors. Measure the leaf before ordering and pick the model to match, because the wrong body either bottoms out or leaves the barrel proud of the face.
2) I have a hollow metal door about 1 inch thick. Which Trimco 975 viewer do I order?
That is the 975-1, the short-barrel version cut for doors 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch thick. The standard 975 body will not draw down tight on a leaf that thin. The 975-1 comes in all five finishes: 605 bright brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome.
3) Is a 160 degree peephole enough, or should I get a wide angle one?
160 degrees is the standard viewing angle and it covers the landing directly outside a normal opening. Where the door sits in an alcove or a corridor and someone can stand hard against the jamb out of view, the wide angle 200 degree version of the Trimco viewer is the one to specify instead. Trimco builds the series both ways. If you want a still wider field from another brand, the Ives U698 is a 190 degree wide angle viewer and the Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 carries a 200 degree lens.
4) Is the Trimco 975 door viewer ADA compliant for apartment entry doors?
ADA compliant, yes, and Trimco lists the 975 Series under ANSI/BHMA L03172. The series is built for commercial use and Trimco calls out multifamily and mixed use, assisted living, hospitality and healthcare as its applications, which are exactly the occupancies where the accessibility question gets asked on a submittal.
5) I need to standardize peepholes across a whole apartment building. Can one Trimco 975 order cover all the doors?
One finish, one series, but you will still order more than one model. The 975 Series spans 1-17/64 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors by changing the body length, so survey the leaf thicknesses first and split the count between the 975-1 for thin doors, the standard 975, and the 975L where the doors are thickest. Fire rated openings in the building take the 975U or 975U-CAP. Every one of those models is offered in the same five finishes, so the doors match visually even where the bodies differ.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Trimco 975-1 door viewer for an 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch thick door?
The Rockwood 619 is a 160 degree door viewer built for 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch door thickness, the same viewing angle and the same thin-door range the Trimco 975-1 covers. If you are matching an existing 975-1 on a light interior or panel door and want a different manufacturer on the order, the 619 is the direct counterpart.
7) The Trimco 975 tops out at 2-1/8 inch door thickness. What door viewer works on a door thicker than that?
The Trimco 975 series covers 1-17/64 inch through 2-1/8 inch doors. For an opening past that, the Rockwood 621 is a UL listed 160 degree viewer for 2 inch to 2-1/2 inch doors, so it picks up the range above the 975 at the same viewing angle. That is the one to spec on heavy stile or gasketed doors that measure over 2-1/8 inch.
8) I need a wider viewing angle than 160 degrees on an apartment entry door. What are my options?
The Trimco 975 is a 160 degree viewer. If the resident needs to see more of the corridor, the Ives U698 is a one-way wide angle door viewer with a 190 degree view and UL fire rating, and the Cal-Royal PRIULDV200 is a UL listed viewer with a 200 degree glass lens and a privacy cover. Both widen the field of view; the Cal-Royal also adds the privacy cover, which is the usual multifamily request when residents want the lens closed from inside.
9) Which door viewer should I use when the drawing calls for a fire rated opening?
Trimco offers UL certified models in the 975 family, ordered as 975U or 975U-CAP. On the other brands, the Ives U696, U698, U700 and 701 all carry a fire rating, the Hager 1756 is a 185 degree one way viewer with a fire rating, and the Rockwood 621 is UL listed. Confirm the door thickness against the model before you release the order, since the rated units differ in the thickness they cover.
10) What is the difference between the 975U and the 975U-CAP door viewer?
The cap. Both are the UL certified version of the Trimco viewer; the 975U-CAP ships with the cover that swings over the eyepiece on the inside face. That matters where a resident wants the lens blocked when nobody is looking through it, which is the usual ask in multifamily and assisted living. If you do not need the cover, the plain 975U is the same viewer without it. Both come in bright brass, oil rubbed bronze, matte black, bright chrome and satin chrome.
11) What finishes does the Trimco 975 door viewer come in, and will it match my existing brass hardware?
Five finishes run across every model in the 975 Series: 605 bright brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. If the existing trim on the door is polished brass, 605 is the match; satin chrome trim takes 626. Because the same five are offered on the 975, 975-1, 975L, 975U and 975U-CAP, mixing body lengths across an opening set does not force a finish break.
12) What is the closest alternative to the Trimco 975 door viewer from another brand?
Rockwood is the straightest swap on viewing angle. The Rockwood 620 is a 160 degree viewer for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, matching the standard 975; the Rockwood 619 is the 160 degree unit for 11/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch doors, which is the same thin-door range as the 975-1. If you want the cover, the Rockwood 624 is a 160 degree viewer with a cover for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, comparable to the 975U-CAP. For a solid brass body, the Emtek 2610 is a brass door viewer that goes into a 5/8 inch hole.
13) The Trimco 975U-CAP has a cover. What other door viewers include a cover or privacy flap?
The 975U-CAP is the UL model with a cap. Comparable covered units are the Rockwood 624, a 160 degree viewer with cover for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Hager 1759, a 185 degree one way viewer with a privacy flap for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal PRIULDV200, a UL listed privacy viewer with a 200 degree lens and privacy cover. The Rockwood 624 matches the 975 on viewing angle; the Hager and Cal-Royal units view wider.
14) Is the Ives 701 door viewer the same thing as the Trimco 975?
They are not interchangeable on viewing angle. The Trimco 975 views 160 degrees, while the Ives 701 is a one-way brass viewer for thicker doors with a 120 degree viewing angle and a fire rating. If a resident or a spec is expecting the wider 160 degree field, the 701 will not deliver it even though both are one-way viewers of similar appearance.
15) I am standardizing viewers across a building with 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. What matches the Trimco 975 on those?
The Trimco 975 series covers 1-17/64 inch through 2-1/8 inch, so a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door falls inside it. Rockwood offers the same coverage in two forms at the same 160 degree angle: the 620 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 624, which adds a cover over that same range. Picking one part number for the whole floor is simpler when every door in the fleet measures inside that band.
16) Which door viewers besides the Trimco 975 handle a full 2-1/8 inch thick door?
The Trimco 975 series runs up to 2-1/8 inch. The Hager 1759 is a 185 degree one way viewer with a privacy flap covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch, and the Hager 1756 is a 185 degree one way viewer with a fire rating for 2-1/8 inch doors. The 1756 is the fixed thick-door unit; the 1759 spans the range and adds the flap.
17) What is a simpler door viewer than the Trimco 975 for a residential-style door where UL certification is not required?
The Emtek 2610 is a solid brass door viewer that installs in a 5/8 inch diameter hole, a plain one-piece unit without the UL certified and capped variants the Trimco 975 family carries. The Trimco 975 is specified for commercial use, so on a townhome or a single owner-occupied unit where nothing on the drawing calls for a certified viewer, the Emtek 2610 covers the function with fewer options to configure.
18) For an ADA compliant opening, what door viewers compare to the Trimco 975?
The Trimco 975 is ADA compliant and carries ANSI/BHMA designation L03172. Among the fire rated alternatives, the Ives U696 is a one-way viewer with a 150 degree viewing angle and the Ives U700 is a one-way brass viewer with UL fire rating. Mounting height is what governs ADA on a viewer, so confirm the height called out for your facility and then select on viewing angle and door thickness.
