This Togu door viewer looks decent, installs easily, works real fine, and is inexpensive. 5 stars.
And, oh yeah, their prominent claim that this is a 220-degree viewer is obvious nonsense, a fib. Not that I can think why anybody would believe or want a >180-degree viewer. I estimate this one’s field of view at about 165 degrees - a wholly respectable view field, no reason for them to be fibbing about it as they are.
The only thing I’d reasonably wish for them to change on this viewer is to add some kind of small knurls or ridges on the back side, the against-the-door-side, of the outside rim/hub, so as to more firmly lock the viewer against the door, so as to make it even harder to unscrew the viewer from the outside. Although it’s important to note that, even as is, this viewer, if properly installed and tightened from the inside, is already very difficult to remove from the outside, as it clamps down very tight with the existing threads on the barrel, and the whole outside is super smooth, there is virtually nothing on the outside to grab onto to unscrew the viewer. But, to make a good thing even better, I’d still prefer, as I said, to see some kind of knurls or ridges on the underside/backside of the outside rim to lock it even better into the door.
The main reason I’m bothering to submit this review is to respond briefly to the relatively small number of negative reviews of this viewer. A few of those are on points that I don’t know anything about, like Amazon refusing to accept returns on this item; I’ve never heard of such a thing, but maybe it’s true, a number of people seem to be saying so. And a very few people say this viewer broke apart on them, which I suppose could happen sometimes. But most of the negative reviews are just nonsense BS, the reviewers obviously are completely ignorant, saying completely false things like this viewer won’t fit a standard-thickness door; they really should not speak about something about which they are so obviously profoundly clueless.
(For the record: I have absolutely no interest in this company or this product other than that I am a satisfied customer and user.)
