guys I can see from inside the door where the holes go, but am looking for the proper way to drill down from the topside and get these holes right the first time.
Anybody have any ideas? Thanks! Jim |

Use a center point tool with hammer to create a little dent from the inside of the nut. Drill an undersize hole then enlarge as needed.
