Step 19Drill some pilot holes

Drill some pilot holes
The J-channel will be mounted to some MDF (wood) and then the MDF will be screwed to the door frame.  It is a good idea to drill some pilot holes in the metal.   About 50% of the time I drill my pilot holes in the wrong spots, so I have gotten in the habbit of drilling two sets of pilot holes. 

The images below show me carefully planning where the pilot holes will need to be.  Then I just drill a whole bunch, because I am frequently wrong.

I use a peice of wood to suport the metal when I drill the holes.
