"Hi! I'm Daniel on behalf of Expert Village. In this particular clip, we are going to be drilling our pilot holes for our 2 2/8 inch holes and for our inch latch hole on the side of the door. I'm going to start by using a punch and just marking each hole that we already measure.

So we just simply mark each one. Now we will take an 8th inch drill bit and we will simply start our holes."
