This month, I've been home schooling you in all sorts of household tasks. And, now I'd like to teach you how to be a Peeping Tom without landing yourself in the slammer. It's okay to do some espionage from the comfort of your own home, if you're trying to figure out whose on the other side of your door. And, in fact, to be safe, you should always use a peephole to ensure you're not opening the door to strangers. To install a peephole in your door, you'll need a drill, a 10- or 25-foot tape measure, a peephole, a slotted screwdriver, safety goggles, and a dust mask. To learn the steps, read more.

Here are the steps, from Barbara K!:

  1. First, put on your safety goggles and mask.
  2. Mark where you want the peephole to go.
  3. Make a pilot hole all the way through the door using a small drill bit.
  4. Read the instructions on the peephole packaging, and switch to the drill bit size recommended.
  5. Drill halfway through the door.
  6. Switch to the other side of the door, and repeat so there's a hole all the way through.
  7. Make sure the right side is facing out, and put the two sides of the peephole in the door. Then, tighten.
  8. Finish tightening the peephole by putting your screwdriver in the slots of the interior bezel.
  9. Fini! Peep away.
