Question 1

This may seem like a stupid question, but when drilling, do you close the door and drill from the inside, drilling out? or it doesn't matter?

Accepted Answer

I drilled a 3/16" pilot hole from inside out, then took the correct size and drilled 1/2 way from inside 1/2 way from outside to avoid any splintering on either side.

Question 2

Im confused, on description says to use 9/16 bit but on features it says 5/8. Which bit size should i use or does it not matter?

Accepted Answer

For all the obvious reasons, I wanted the smallest hole that would work. And I found it worked fine - albeit snugly - with a 1/2” hole slightly enlarged by running the drill bit in and out and around the hole. Also, a 1/2” drill bit is a lot more common, easier to find, than a 9/16”.

Question 3

Does this actually have a 220 degree viewing angle? 180 degrees is the most you would ever need, so I feel like the manufacturer is lying.

Accepted Answer

I am a satisfied customer of this door viewer product. But the 220 degree viewing angle claim - and illustration - are indeed lies - or at least falsehoods. Their illustration plainly shows an angle that shows *less than* 135 degrees, even though it is labeled 220. I have found some odd pattern of Chinese products whose makers/sellers are baldly lying about certain geometric angle measurements in their products, I don’t know why they think they can get away with that. One could conceive of a greater-than-180-degree viewer, but it would have no point in a flat door, and this Togu is definitely not such a >180 viewer. My own estimate is that this Togu’s about a 165-degree viewer, almost the same as the 170-degrees given here by Bill R., and the only other real number given here for the actual viewing angle. And that’s a quite respectable number, no need for them to be falsely claiming 220 degrees.

Question 4

are the lenses glass or plastic?

Accepted Answer

All Togu door viewer lens are made of premium optical glasses, which offer an everlasting crystal clear view ;Togu never use plastic or acrylic, since these materials always lead to blurry view for plastic ageing as time passes.
