    And thanks Societys - Glad you said thick drillbit as I would have pro bably come unstuck there. No steel in door tho luckily
    Think I will try the file option first though if I can find someone with one.

    Why is an easy job never an easy job? It didnt help that it started to snow whilst I was fitting it either:cool:

    I was sort of assuming that you would be buying one. I would not think that too many people would own a genuine Dreadnought, unless like me, they had worked somewhere like a metalwork shop.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    There are lots of ways, but given the outside temperature you are likely to waste more energy while fitting at the moment than it will save.

    Personally I would look past the file and saw collection and use the dremel as it could easily be done in seconds without taking the gloves off.

    Measure twice and cut once, naturally.
