I thought there was a section in the 2003 IRC about peep holes or side windows being required in front entry doors or am I mistaken.
 
Re: peep holes & side windows

I've never read nor heard that one.It's not in the IRC 2003 code.
 
Re: peep holes & side windows

I think you are mistaken. It may be a local amendment somewhere.
 
Re: peep holes & side windows

Do you require safety glazing for peep holes?
 
Re: peep holes & side windows

The code permits certain type of peep holes in fire resistive rated corridor doors. I do not know of a provision that would require them, although I recall some local amendments that did.
