Wide angle spy hole fitted to your front door. See who's there before opening - much better than the narrow old-style viewers. Properly drilled, cleanly fitted, works perfectly.
### Know Who's Knocking
Someone's at your door. Could be the postman. Could be someone selling something. Could be someone you don't want to let in.
With no spy hole, you're either **opening the door to find out** (not ideal) or shouting "who is it?" through the door (also not ideal).
A wide angle spy hole means you see the whole doorstep. See who's there, see if they've got parcels, see if there's more than one person. Then decide whether to open the door.
Simple security upgrade that costs about £60 total.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Get a wide angle one (180° or 200°). The old narrow ones only show what's directly in front - people can stand to the side and you won't see them.

Usually around 1.5m but depends on your height. ### Step 2: Drill The Hole Mark the center point, drill cleanly through the door. Takes care - needs to be straight or the viewer won't fit properly. ### Step 3: Fit The Viewer Viewer body goes through from outside, eyepiece screws on from inside. Tightened up so it's secure and sealed. ### Step 4: Test It You have a look through to check the view's good and it's at a comfortable height. Adjust if needed.

Good to Know
> 🚪 **Composite or PVC doors?** These can be trickier than wooden doors - there's often metal reinforcement inside. I've got the right bits to handle it without damaging the door. **Multiple doors?** Some people want them on front and back, or front and side door. Bundle them together in one visit. **For elderly relatives?** Can fit it lower if mobility issues mean they can't reach standard height. Or fit two at different heights if multiple people use the door. **Digital viewers?** You can get electronic door viewers with a screen inside (£80-150). Much easier for people who can't bend or see through small holes. I can fit those too if you want to go that route. **Worried about drilling?** Understandable if it's a nice door. I do it carefully - pilot hole first, clean cut, no mess. Done hundreds of them.
Frequently Asked Questions about Spy hole wide angle in Exmouth
What's a wide angle spy hole?
It's a door viewer with a wider lens - lets you see more of the doorstep, including people standing to the side. Standard ones only show what's directly in front, wide angle shows 180° or more.
Can you fit one to any door?
Pretty much - wooden doors, composite doors, PVC doors. As long as it's solid enough and the right thickness (most doors are 40-50mm). Can't fit to glass panels obviously.
What height should it be?
Usually about 1.5m (eye height for average person). I fit it at whatever height suits you - lower if you're shorter or have mobility issues, higher if you're tall. Whatever lets you see through it comfortably.
Will it weaken my door?
No - it's a small diameter hole (usually 12-14mm) drilled cleanly through. Won't affect door strength at all. The viewer screws together from both sides so it's all sealed.
Can you replace an existing spy hole with a better one?
Yes - often the old ones are narrow view or damaged. I can take out the old one and fit a new wide angle viewer. Usually goes in the same hole if it's the right size.
