Default New Door Smell

I had a new fiberglass front door installed last year. Drilled a hole for a
peep hole. Ever since then There is a smell sort of like nail polish remover
coming from the door. How can I fix this?

Seal the raw fiberglass , remove peep hole and brush on something to
seal it, I would think a few coats of any oil paint should do it.

You could seal the hole or just wait long enough. Might be a long
weight. I suggest silicone to seal the hole. I suspect the door is filled
with foam insulation and that you are smelling that.
