Drilling Into Composite Front Doors

[wolfboy]

Hi,

I have recently had a new composite front door fitted and now wish to refit the alarm sensors to the inside of the door. There is one main sensor that fits to the frame and a small magnet that fits to the door.

My question is, are there any special considerations when drilling into the door? Will the supplied small wood screws be able cut a thread into the door, or is a rawl plug required?

Regards

Martin

Personally I use stainless steel self tappers with no problems.
Drill a tiny pilot hole first though just to see there's nothing too solid in there....your screws will hold in the acrylic or timber.
