Question:

I have to drill holes in an exterior steel covered front door for a mail slot and peep hole. What is the best way to proceed with 'getting through' the steel part once all the measurements have been taken?

Answer:

Drill though masking tape with metal cutting but on each side of the door to reduce damage.
